Over the past 22 years, I have worked in a variety of treatment settings including inpatient/outpatient mental health, substance abuse, and private practice with patients who have a variety of issues. I have experience addressing depression, anxiety, addictions, abuse, and family of origin issues. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, empowering, environment to allow full expression and resolution of feelings and thoughts. Treatment is always tailored to your particular needs, and is set at a pace you are comfortable with. I hope to assist you on your path to develop lifelong changes, and in building the life you deserve.
I feel humbled and honored to serve as a therapist for individuals with life challenges. My goal is to help you discover your unique strengths, history, and insight, as well as uncover your challenging emotions and events. Unresolved experiences and feelings can influence our lives in so many ways, and affect us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It can become difficult to develop healthy relationships, improve life situations, and take good care of ourselves. What started as a coping skill for painful events, can currently be damaging your life and relationships Together, you and I, will challenge shame, guilt, fear, anger or other emotions related to past or current life events. We will explore new coping skills to help you be more effective in your life, reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance your relationships.
I look forward to working with you!
