I am the owner of Life Solutions Services, a practice focused on providing a wide range of services including psychotherapy, hypnoyherapy, medication management and outpatient opioid detox, provided by skilled and experienced clinicians. I often say to our new clients that it takes a lot of courage to reach out and begin their journey towards better mental health. When you finally make the decision to contact a therapist and schedule your first appointment, you are beginning to regain some control over your life. I am proud of you for starting your journey by researching a clinician you feel you will be able to trust.

As a clinical social worker, I provide therapy from the standpoint of a mentor, teacher, as well as a guide, in order for clients to have control over their treatment. I use an eclectic mixture of approaches, including strength based, psychoeducational, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapies. Meeting clients where they are is what we do best No medication is prescribed in my office currently as I am not a physician and there is not one on staff, but I do work with many physicians from around the area. I will gladly refer to a physician if medication management is needed or a clinical psychologist for formal testing.

Together, side by side, you and I can get closer to who you want to be and how you want to feel.
