I work with individuals and couples who are adjusting to a change in their life or find themselves "stuck" in patterns of behaviors or moods that disturb them. Examples include relationship stress, anxiety, depression, family of origin issues and addiction/abuse concerns. Some times this is a result of a loss of a loved one, a change in relationship status or employment status. Sometimes the cause is not apparent.
I have extensive training and experience in working with addiction issues including family of origin addiction, your substance abuse concerns, evaluations and the recovery process.
I begin my work by listening to what your goals are for counseling. I build on your strengths and well as offer new skills/perspectives. I do both short and long term counseling with a focus on helping you reach your stated goals.
