Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
I have a style that can be very directional and goal oriented like life coaching. I like motivating people and sharing my contagious attitude towards healing and personal growth.
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I am a trained counselor/coach with extensive experience assisting folks with life transitions, whether relating to work, relationships, school or gender identity. Because of this experience, I may be more directive and interactive than many therapists; employing a coaching style that some people find more useful than basic talk therapy. We may discuss incorporating healthier life choices, life-planning, values or developing long-term goals. I also use interventions like exercises and homework, both CBT-based and creative. My active listening style may also include opportunities for clients to be accountable for their actions, encouraging them to work actively on their behaviors and follow through.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.
Hypnotherapy is an excellent way to gain personal insight, not just of your conscious goals but your subconscious motivations. When those align you can move forward with needed changes with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (103346), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience working with clients who are in a career or life transition, making life transitional changes and choices, looking at deeper values and questions in their life including spirituality and life purpose, concrete life goals in the present, and much more. I approach life coaching holistically considering mind-body-spirit wellness - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
Life can bring both joy and stress, often at the same time. We may struggle with big life transitions, family challenges, experience burn out, feel anxiety about the future or have questions about our identities. I support people of all ages navigate such challenging moments in life and work together to develop the clarity and skills to regain a balanced, grounded and more joyful life.
