Pronouns: She/her/hers
Therapy Style: Collaborative, Empowering, Strengths-Based
My guiding principle is to love what you do and do what you love. I am passionate about helping others by creating a therapeutic environment that nurtures the mind, heart, and soul. With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, I began my career as a nurse and later transitioned to a marriage and family therapist. I naturally embrace a solution-focused approach while integrating various therapeutic modalities to meet my clients’ diverse needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, strength-based approaches, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness techniques. Joining the Foresight team allows me to dedicate myself to my passion for supporting the community by providing mental health services that address anxiety, depression, emotional distress, childhood trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues.
Unconditional positive regard—encompassing acceptance, empathy, and respect—serves as the foundation of client-centered therapy. My primary objective is to cultivate a safe environment where clients can openly examine their emotions and challenges without the worry of being judged. I work collaboratively with clients to develop treatment plans that empower them to actively engage in their healing journey, thereby enhancing their sense of agency while also fostering a deeper comprehension of their individual experiences and aspirations. At the beginning of each session, I remind my clients that the session is theirs, and I am present to offer guidance and support.
The therapeutic alliance is built on a foundation of trust, care, and commitment. By being present and attentive, I cultivate a partnership that empowers my clients to fully immerse themselves in their healing journey. I create a non-judgmental environment where clients can openly express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This supportive space fosters comfort, enabling clients to receive empathy, emotional backing, and validation as they work towards enhancing their mental and physical well-being.
