I would like to provide people with the best possible counseling to meet them where they are at. I am person centered and am aware everyone is different and have different needs and goals important to be aware of in the counseling process. I have been in the field for over 30 years working with those with all diagnoses especially anxiety, depression and substance use. I offer strategies to ease the symptoms of these to then be able to work on changing thoughts to then change behaviors. I am motivated to help you to be able to manage your symptoms and become aware that you can control your thoughts and behaviors and improve your quality of life.
