I believe you are capable of living the life you want. Through self awareness, recognizing your strengths and determining what motivates you, I believe that you have the power to change when given access to the proper insight, information and tools. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Behavior Specialist using both emotion focused and cognitive behavioral strategies to motivate and create change. I create a safe environment in which you can truly be yourself, explore life's challenges and maybe even learn to laugh at yourself in the process. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, trauma, grief, as well as family issues related to codependency and addiction. I also have extensive experience in working with families of children with behavioral health diagnoses, such as Autism, childhood PTSD, and ADHD. I also see adolescents ages 12 and up. I believe in actively engaging my clients through a combination of approaches which are determined by both of us. This is your life and your therapy. I want to help you get the most out of both. I offer evening and weekend hours. I also offer LPC, LCSW, LMFT supervision hours to interested clinicians.

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

I spend our first session getting to know how you as a person; your background, where you are at currently in life and what your biggest concerns are. Over time, we begin to focus on the areas of your life in which you would like to see change. We always leave the session reviewing the positives and maybe with a little homework that you'll need to do before we meet again

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I use a lot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as psychodynamic processing when it's appropriate.

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

I am a listener who wants to see you make measurable changes in your life. I feel I am able to have clients really become aware of negative thought and behavior patterns that leave us stuck in a loop. I am down to earth and easy to talk to.
