Assessment Rule 25 criteria and PREPARE/ENRICH. She utilizes
Health Realization and Narrative Therapy in her practice.

any problem encountered.
I provide therapy services for individuals,
couples, families, adults, and groups. I also lead positive
esteem, 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, problems related
to incarceration, and sexual issues that may interfere
and contribute to disturbances in relationships. I practice
from a collaborative stance. 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.
