I am a licensed marriage and family therapist committed to treating individuals, couples, and families in the Siskiyou County area. My clinical interests lie in treating couples’ issues in periods of transition (preparing for marriage, parenthood, or divorce), spiritual or religious issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other life transition issues.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in working with clients and the relationships they have in their lives. Using an integrative model of change, I highlight the strengths of different theories to fit the client’s identified needs.
Overall, my therapy services provide a confidential and supportive environment for clients to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and foster personal growth. I tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs, ensuring that they feel heard, understood, and empowered on their path to healing and self-discovery.
Welcome to my individual therapy services, where compassionate support and evidence-based techniques come together to help you navigate the challenges of life. I aim to provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals dealing with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, postpartum, and other life transitions.
For those struggling with depression, I offer a personalized therapeutic experience designed to address the unique factors contributing to their condition. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques and empathetic guidance, we work together to identify underlying causes, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop healthy coping mechanisms to alleviate symptoms and restore a sense of hope and joy.
I assist individuals facing various life transitions such as divorce, career changes, relocation, and retirement. Together, we explore the emotional impact of these transitions, develop coping strategies, and work towards building resilience and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment in the face of change.
Adolescence can be a tumultuous period filled with significant changes and challenges. In individual therapy sessions tailored for adolescents, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for teenagers to express themselves, explore their emotions, and navigate the complexities of adolescence. I address a wide range of issues, including self-esteem, peer relationships, academic stress, and emotional well-being, helping teenagers build resilience and develop healthy coping strategies.
Parenting is a complex journey that often comes with its own set of challenges. I offer support to parents by providing guidance, education, and a non-judgmental space to explore their concerns, develop effective parenting strategies, and strengthen their parent-child relationships. Whether it's navigating behavioral issues, addressing communication barriers, or managing the demands of parenthood, I strive to empower parents with the tools and confidence they need to thrive.
Trauma can have a profound impact on one's mental health and overall functioning. Drawing from trauma-informed approaches, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to process their experiences and heal from past wounds. Together, we explore effective techniques such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to alleviate distressing symptoms and promote resilience and growth.
Anxiety can be debilitating, but throughout treatment, I help individuals navigate their anxiety by teaching practical tools for managing stress, cultivating relaxation techniques, and promoting self-care practices. By identifying triggers and exploring the root causes of anxiety, we work collaboratively to develop personalized strategies that empower individuals to regain control and live more fulfilling lives.
When working with couples, I aim to foster and enhance connection, using the principles of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and effective communication techniques. I understand that relationships can encounter challenges, and my goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for couples to explore and strengthen their bond.
Incorporating Christian counseling principles, I offer a faith-based approach for individuals seeking therapy within the context of their religious beliefs. I provide a supportive space where clients can explore their spirituality, find solace in their faith, and integrate biblical teachings into their therapeutic journey.
