Establishing a strong personal connection with my clients is the foundation for success. Creating a roadmap, is important in the beginning. It helps clients track their own progress and I believe it's important for clients to feel a true sense of accomplishment throughout their therapeutic journey of self-discovery. As a seasoned therapist with over 25 years in the mental health field, I’ve been fortunate to work with clients of all ages with a variety of needs. I have the skills to help individuals, families and couples navigate through the rough spots from a place of personal experience and professional perspective.

Trauma leaves us feeling anxious, unprotected and not knowing who to trust. You just want to go one day without being triggered. You probably don't even remember a time when you felt safe. You just want to know how to trust yourself, nevermind trusting anyone else. All you know is that you want to feel relief. You want to feel safe and to know that you can trust yourself and others. Most of all you're ready to feel confident, hopeful, and knowing you can accomplish your goals. I want to help get you there!

Grief is a universal burden that we all must carry. Just like any heavy load, things can quickly feel unbalanced, putting goals at risk, interrupting progress, or shutting you down all together. You are not alone, and this is not just "all in your head." Finding a soft place to land, where it is safe to say what you are thinking and feeling, is important for healing and growth after life's traumas have touched your life. Therapy can be that place.

As a counselor, I have worked with clients of varying ages, personalities and struggles. I believe that everyone can benefit from having an unbiased, empathetic person to listen to them. Someone to meet them where they are and help them to work through their problems, identify their needs and accomplish their goals. Life is hard, sometimes we need a little help to get through the rough times.

I've had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, with individuals, couples, and families experiencing different challenges. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, and to walk together to heal, to unlock your potential, and to achieve your goals.

Don't settle for a generic drug and alcohol therapist. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance).

I appreciate working with clients who are driven to develop, evolve, and pursue emotional well-being and overall wellness through the counseling journey. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment so that my clients can set and meet their goals without feeling judged or criticized. My clients "drive" the counseling process while I gently support them on their road to personal growth.

How many times have you thought about going to counseling only to say to yourself"I'll be fine, there's nothing wrong with me, this will pass"? Me too, until it was obvious I wasn't fine, there was something wrong and it wasn't going to pass. It is a scary proposition to sit down with a complete stranger and tell them your innermost thoughts and emotions. I believe that most of us know where we are and where we want to be, but sometimes understanding what got us where we are and how we are going to get where we want to be are not so clear. I can help you get where you want to be. It isn't always easy, but it is worth it.

Together, through thoughtful collaboration, we can move through hard things!

Don't settle for a generic psychiatrist for drug or alcohol issues. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance).
