Specialties
Results based strategic therapist for Seniors, Relocation Therapy, Relationship Issues, Conflict Resolution, Family Counseling, Couples Counseling, Divorce Issues, Depression, Anxiety, It is my goal to provide individuals, couples and families with incredible care and understanding that come with the many unique challenges we face within our community.
I have created my own distinct type of therapy, designed strategies and techniques, and developed fun exercises to help my clients reach their goals. My unique approach tends to be quicker than traditional therapy. We will work together to create an effective plan to achieve your goals, giving you the strategies you will need to problem solve in the future.
I feel that the original type of therapy people think of is not as effective or the best option for every client. Many people resist therapy thinking they will just be talking about their feelings or being asked "And how does that make you feel?" and therefore don't want to attend therapy. In this day and age we need a more practical and strategic approach so people don't have to be in therapy consistently for years unless this is their choice. That is where Playa Vista Therapy comes in with my Results Based Strategic Therapy™.
