I have been working as a psychotherapist for over twenty-five years. I love working with people, helping them to find the path they want to take and supporting them in meeting their goals. I work with a wide variety of clients. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor and have been Certified as a (CADC) Certified Addictions Counselor, School Social Worker (to do in school assessments) and most recently Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I see clients who struggle with a wide range of mental health mental health issues, addiction, or a combination of the two. I also work with clients struggling with stress, family issues, communication issues, grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and young adults' who live at home and are struggle to become independent. Finally, I see many clients who are older and need support transitioning into retirement.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is often an anxious time for the client. I do my best to go as slow or fast as you need, to go over your history and start to get to know each other. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible in a warm and supporting environment. We can discuss goals and we can, together, begin a conversation regarding how to help you meet them.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

After 25 plus years of being in this field I have worked with a very wide range of people. Over the years I have developed my own style which is interactive, focused on each individuals needs, and so I use the modalities that best fit each person and that could even change over the course of the session. I am extremely interested in my clients lives and issues and truly want to know them and help them.
