I have been in the field since 2002 working with many people. I have experience with depression, self-esteem challenges, behavioral issues, issues within the relationship and family bond, and bipolar disorder. These are a only handful of the client's I have worked with. I have experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger's ; however, I've worked with all types of Intellectually Capable individuals. I've also done a lot of work with parents both in the home and on the residential level. And I love working with couples. I have collaborated with veterans on many occasions and love working with them.
The tools that I use are those hidden within you. I use creative therapy and behavioral techniques to help you get where you want to be. Our collaboration is a trip that we will embark on together. I will help you find the best solutions to the answers you have.
Reach out to me and/or Lifestance to see how we can make things more manageable. Let's get to work.
