What challenges are you facing ? What seems to be holding you back from obtaining what you really want from life? I offer a holistic approach to emotional and mental and behavioral health care, and work to provide empathy and understanding . My goal is to provide a warm peaceful environment so clients, can focus on their own personal growth and empowerment. I would like to help you deal with anxiety, depression, substance use issues, or other challenges. I have worked in counseling for 30 years, and have helped many clients build a strong stable recovery lifestyle, or achieve other goals that have really improved their lives.
My most common treatment approaches are Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Couples counseling .I have recently completed Gottman training for couples therapy. I work to help clients, and couples develop and use skills that will help them to achieve and maintain mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.
I am a seasoned therapist who has served clients since 1989. I respect and honor all faith, and cultural backgrounds and am happy to work with people in the context of their cultural views and spiritual beliefs. I know life can offer many challenges, and I look forward to helping you find real answers to deal with the challenges you face.
