I provide individual, family and group outpatient counseling for people of all ages. I work with people who may be struggling with relationship issues, anxiety issues, substance abuse and addiction and behavioral addictions, bullying, conflict resolution, grief loss issues, trauma and PTSD, anger management, adult and childhood ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder and other mood disorders. I also assist children and families with parent-child relational issues and behavior modification skill development. I have worked within the school system, inpatient and outpatient settings, in homes, and emergency rooms. I have trained youth to help peers on a local suicide hotline.
If you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, trauma, an emotional issue, or a relationship concern, I believe I can heIp you. Depending on your situation, we will develop a plan of action and overcome what may be troubling you together. I have over 30 years experience working with addictions and mental health issues. Biblical counseling available too.
I have personally witnessed individuals who were once homeless, hospitalized or incarcerated turn their lives around and become successful professionals with loving families. I believe that everyone deserves to live the life they've always dreamed of. My objective is to help you remove barriers so that you are empowered to reach your goals and dreams.
