Welcome, and thank you for your time. I understand that life can be very hectic and at times overwhelming. From the day to day stressors that are outside of our control, to the trauma and burdens we carry subconsciously. Have you ever wished you could have a break, maybe a mental vacation from the every day noise? Therapy can be just that, a quiet vacation from the outside stressors. Together we can effectively cope with anxiety, manage those stressors, and navigate through the noise. By searching out help, you have already taken the most important step. I have over 15 years experience in mental health and specialize in anxiety, addiction issues, anger management, depression, and family/relationship concerns. There is no issue too small to bring to therapy, and no concern too big that it can’t be addressed. Therapy is your ship, and I want to help you navigate your life to more peaceful and calm waters.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session you can expect for us to get to know each other a little more then just what is on paper. There will be time for you to have any questions you may have for me answered, and for you to express any fears or concerns you may have with me. If you feel safe and comfortable, we can start this journey together.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I like to take an individualized approach to therapy, and will use the evidence based tools that best fit your needs. Some approaches used will be motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral/dialectical behavioral, emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked in all areas of mental health of over 20years, starting in residential adolescent treatment, home based therapy, ABA therapy, addiction treatment and hospital/medical social work. I have provided individual and group therapy to adolescents struggling with behavioral issues, adults coping with the disease of addiction, and have provided therapy to families as they navigate the loss of end of life. I specialize in adolescents, ADHD, addiction, anxiety, bipolar, family dynamic (such as caring for aging parents), relationship concerns and aging issues. I provide space and inclusive space to everyone, regardless of age, race, religion or sexual orientation. You can always be you with me.
