She utilizes Health Realization and Narrative therapy
in her practice. She emphasizes that when a client is
living in a secure state of mind they will be able to
locate solutions to any problem encountered.
I provide therapy services for individuals,
couples, families, adults, and groups. I also lead positive
esteem and healthy sexuality support groups, and couples
empowerment and revitalization workshops in addition to
the PREPARE/ENRICH.
I have experience working with the issues
of empty nest syndrome, grief and loss, reintegration
into society after incarceration, and sexual issues that
may interfere and contribute to disturbances in relationships.
My philosophy of therapy incorporates Health Realization,
Solution Focused and Narrative Therapy to create openings
and generate conversation for stories to be told and solutions
to be found. I also utilize family of origin genograms,
role-playing, and psychoeducation into therapy sessions.
