I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I specialize in anxiety, anger, stress, depression, grief, conflict resolution, and addiction. These are the components that worsen every other area in life. I received my Masters in Mental Health in 2016, and my approach to counseling is to identify the thinking styles that are causing the most significant dysfunction. It is to identify the visible and hidden areas. I have written programs to assist individuals with personal issues, couples, and groups. I work with singles, couples, the elderly, and I have worked in the helping profession for over 25 years. We make the decisions that we make because of available options and past experiences, but with better decisions comes better health.
