As a licensed professional counselor, I work in partnership with you, in a creative problem solving process to address whatever is concerning you. We will find the strengths, skills and abilities that you already possess. Finally, we will utilize evidence-based therapeutic interventions to address depression, anxiety, phase of life adjustments, grief and loss, trauma, compulsive eating and substance use disorders. My ultimate goals are to create a trusting therapeutic relationship and foster a comfortable, nurturing environment for you.

My areas of focus include drug and alcohol related problems, compulsive overeating, depression, anxiety, veterans issues, trauma, healthy relationships and self esteem. When appropriate, I also utilize expressive art techniques to foster self awareness and self expression.
