I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I also have an additional certification for Drug & Alcohol Counseling and Life Coaching and work collaboratively with clients to help build on strengths rather than focusing on deficits. In our sessions, I work with you to develop healthy life skills using proactive therapeutic techniques via phone or Zoom formats enabling you can be in the comfort of your home during a session. I incorporate CBT, Positive Psychology and Solution Focus approaches to teach and encourage healthy communication, mood management strategies and develop effective life skills.
I have experience working with Individuals, Families and Couples who are seeking support with issues related to Drug & Alcohol Problems; Divorce; Depression and Anxiety; Stress Management; Caregiver Support; Relationship & Communication Difficulties; Gay/Lesbian Issues; Grief Support; Life Coaching and Life Transitions.
If you've been thinking of making some changes your life, I encourage you to take action today. I enjoy my work and invite you to call me to talk about your counseling needs and goals. Thank you for your consideration.
