My background is in chemical dependency training at state and local hospitals where I worked at various levels of care from those who are very early in recovery to those with sustained recovery and ending at a community mental health facility where I supported individuals in transitioning to medication assisted treatment out of Department of Corrections. I was trained as a Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor and worked supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence while they transitioned out of narcissistic patterns of abuse. I have worked with children who have mood disorders, attachment disorders, and conduct disorders.

My focus as a therapist is to learn from clients the areas of life - relationships, work, school, substance use - where they feel “stuck” and to work together to strategize ways to become “unstuck”. Setting goals and making progress towards those goals is paramount for clients to feel successful in the therapy process. I like to support clients in finding practical ways to start the change process and to help them maintain their motivation.

Every person – and every family - faces challenges that can overwhelm or get us stuck in patterns that aren’t working. Every life stage has its own pressures, and children/adolescents and aging individuals create additional challenges for communication, coping, and adapting. I believe in the process of encouraged and lasting change in a safe environment. I know that each family has unique strengths, stories, patterns, roles, transitions, culture and influences; I have competency in both traditional linear psychotherapeutic methods as well as family systems methods, and can integrate these for an approach as unique as you are.
