My goal is to provide an inclusive and supportive therapy environment that allows a safe space to my clients to experience their emotions, share their struggles and challenges and grow and develop new skills that will help improve their life. If you are depressed, feeling anxious, have chronic stress, experiencing loss and grief, I can work with you in identifying your therapy needs. I believe that therapy should be individualized and tailored to each person.

What is the DOT return-to-duty process? A positive test is a violation. So also is a refusal to be tested. So are a number of other things that are prohibited by DOT. When an employee has a positive test or refuses to be tested or has one of DOT's other violations, DOT requires the employer to immediately remove that employee from safety-sensitive functions. An employer who allows an employee with a violation to continue performing safety-sensitive functions is subject to fines, up to $10,000 per day. An employee with a violation has two options.

Hey there! Thank you for visiting my profile, and welcome! There may be many reasons one turns to therapy. Maybe you are experiencing a change or loss, maybe you have gone through an event that has affected your mental health, or maybe it’s just that something doesn't feel right or someone doesn't treat you well. I like to say “the breadcrumbs make the bread" - it is the little things that add up.

At times, we may not have been taught how to navigate our emotions, process our thoughts, or ask for help. I've encountered individuals who, despite their strength, felt uneasy about seeking assistance. This is a natural response; you've had to be resilient. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't have the opportunity to process these experiences; you have every right to acknowledge your emotions and should be able to thrive and lead a healthier life. If you allow me, I can offer you a secure and non-judgmental environment to explore these emotions and thoughts, and together, we can strive for more positive perspectives.
