I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug counselor with 10 years of professional experience of working with men, women and children struggling with life-controlling problems, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse and trauma. Throughout my career, I have learned that the relationship between counselor and client is the most important step to honest, productive counseling sessions. Therefore, my counseling theories are based on the needs of the client. I establish a safe environment and collaborate with the client to outline their goals and objectives.

Have you ever felt that you were living life by an impossible script? What happens when reality doesn't match our expectations, or when the weight of depression or anxiety gets in the way of enjoying life?

For all of us, there are times in our lives when we need to seek out the right therapist, who can assist us in addressing those difficulties that stop us from getting the satisfaction that we want in our life. I work with individuals facing emotional and life problems. I am a specialist in addressing anxiety, depression, and the trauma that often underlies these emotions.
