Introduction

These are your sessions, and I am here to validate your thoughts, feelings, and authenticate your ideas. Let’s watch a movie in session. No, seriously, movies with snacks and all. Let me show you how movies have been proven to have a therapeutic advantage; oh my gosh, your teens will love it! I am also an educator, I can help you learn what needs to be learned about mental health and i can support you in navigating your relationships. If you are feeling vulnerable and just need to talk I am here to LISTEN! I will assess the challenge’s your facing and together we will determine what you need in your life. If therapy did what you wanted it to do what would your life look like in 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months from now. I use various evidence based interventions including my favorite and very popular approach called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Next to best is my love for Cinema Therapy. You can’t convince me that movies are not the catalyst for deep conversations and fun ones too. I am confident that we can employ your strengths to guide and support you through the challenging and often complicated barriers that befall us all including navigating through uncompromising relationships, weighing out decisions, parenting difficulties, and transitional phases of life all while encouraging self efficacy and emotional growth.
