I treat many relevant issues which includes but are not limited to: mood problems, depression, anxiety, anger, self-confidence, marriage, family, relationship, individual, couples, addictions, chronic pain, PTSD, infidelity, grief/loss, behavioral problems, deployment issues, adolescent, parenting, life change, work/vocational, phobias, life crisis, etc.
Life can often be unpredictable and more dynamic than we are sometimes able to handle on our own. It is very easy to feel stuck, lost, hopeless, and even overwhelmed if we believe that we lack the resources and know how to approach our adversities. In the face of our challenges it is sometimes difficult to identify helpful solutions. This is how I may be helpful to you. Together we could explore what's possible and investigate solutions that work.
