Practice Information

*** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** As a dedicated therapist at Future Focus Therapist, my practice is centered on fostering emotional well-being, nurturing authentic self-leadership, and facilitating trauma recovery. I understand that each client's journey is unique, and I am committed to providing a supportive and understanding environment where you can explore and grow.

My approach is client-centric, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life. I use evidence-based techniques to tailor therapy to your individual needs, ensuring that each session contributes meaningfully to your journey. Among the techniques I employ are Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These diverse methodologies allow me to address a wide range of issues effectively, from managing emotional distress to healing from past traumas.

My sessions are not just about addressing challenges; they are about building a life that is rich, full, and meaningful. Whether you are dealing with emotional upheavals, striving for personal development, or recovering from past traumas, my goal is to guide you towards a future where you feel empowered and authentic. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, where your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing are all interconnected. By focusing on this interconnectedness, we can work together to create a balanced and fulfilling life.

In my practice, you will find a safe, respectful, and confidential space. I am committed to creating an environment where you feel heard, valued, and understood. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, respecting and valuing the diversity of experiences and perspectives.

Together, we will embark on a journey towards healing, growth, and self-discovery. If you are ready to take the first step towards a more fulfilling future, I am here to support and guide you every step of the way.
