More About me
Having been in practice since 2012, I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. As a therapist, I look to identify your strengths and utilize those to find solutions to the specific problems you are experiencing. Some of the ways we will accomplish this are by looking at the various ways that thoughts and emotions may be driving your behaviors. I also like to explore the context of your life and situations that may be contributing to the problems in ways you may not have recognized. We’ll use the insights, information, and strengths to help you transition more into your solutions.
I find great enjoyment in helping a variety of people. I have a special interest in working with partners and have training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. In addition, I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing symptoms of bi-polar, anxiety, depression, and PTSD (trauma).
As well as being conversationally fluent in Spanish, some personal experiences that have influenced me are marriage, divorce, becoming a father, growing up in a blended family, becoming a veteran of a foreign war, and the death of close family members and friends.
