LMHC, 27 years of experience
Hello: I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with all ages and realize how difficult it may have been for you to decide to seek assistance with an issue affecting your life, emotions, and physical well-being. My past clients have had a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction issues, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped clients who have experienced physical and emotional trauma/abuse. My counseling style is attentive, interactive, and reality based. I believe in treating everyone respectfully, with sensitivity, empathy and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered therapy, and rational-emotive counseling. With your assistance, we will build a dialog of trust and honesty while identifying your goals for treatment that meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! My current schedule is for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Appointment times are from 11 AM to 6 PM on Monday and Friday. On Tuesday, the appointment hours are from 1 PM to 8 PM. Thank you.
In our first session, we will start with brief introductions, and then begin to identify your specific challenges. This process will aid me in creating an individualized group of strategies to guide our work during our sessions.
