In my years in practice the ideal client is always the one willing to effect changes in their present situation. Often times I see clients who have gone to other practitioner, but are yet to find the right fit and level of understanding they need. In my practice I take the approach of collaborating and starting "where the client is" in an effort to adequately help and not merely make the client feel better.

I have been helping others improve their mental and emotional well-being for over 25 years. I enjoy working with all ages (infancy through adulthood and old age). I am equipped to handle severe mental illness and crises as well as difficult life transitions and stressful times. As a former Navy Psychologist I work exceptionally well in areas related to military service and traumatic stress and substance use disorders. I work in a collaborative way to find the most effective treatment for you. By the end of your first session, we have identified the problems to work on and a plan to help.

I believe that every person's life is affected by the circumstances and individuals surrounding them. We live in a world that is interconnected. Thus, it is through understanding those connections and influences that we can find peace and meaning in our lives. Whether you are a youth, young adult, elder, lover, loner, or anything in between. You have a life story that is being created around you. Those who take action in their life find the most happiness. It is up to you to either sit back or take an active role in its creation.
