Cross-training in Clinical as well as Counseling Psychology with state & national Addiction Certification Counseling allows for a flexible, integrative approach to a range of issues; mood disorders (depression/anxiety), relationship, occupational, grief and loss, and health-related concerns. For most, a practical, supportive, solution-based approach is the best way to work through more immediate, real-life problems, e.g., interpersonal conflict or chronic symptoms, but, depth-psychology is a good approach for those who may be seeking deeper meaning.

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

The first appointment is about creating comfort and a safe place to openly share about what is going on and finding the next, best step toward well-being.

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

I prefer an integrated, down-to-earth approach so that folks feel safe and comfortable talking about their experiences.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Whether someone has been in services for many years or this is the first "go", each person comes into therapy at exactly the right moment. So, either way, it is entirely possible to discover untapped resources that can help navigate the tough spots.
