I beleive that each stage of life is a transition and that each human struggles in this process. I beleive this can show itself through anxiety , depression , confusion and more. This is why I choose an integrated approach in treatment. My love for treating the whole self, led me to using a multitude of sensory interventions, art , play, horticulture and experiential therapies in my practice. I believe there is no one intervention or modality that is best suited for one population but that each session is tailored to specific needs. I use a positive Psychology approach that allows me to focus on the flourishing of human nature. I beleive each person has an abundance of strengths and I want to help you identify them. I love working with substance use and offender populations and love to see people expand their minds and come back to life and start really living. However my experience is with high acuity clientele. therefore, I I have knowledge and skills in almost every area.

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

My first session is very person centered. We complete history and goals as seen fit to your desired plan going forward. We get to know each other and begin building a connection which will allow good work to take place or determine the nature of a "right fit" The first session is my favorite session as this is the beginning a relationship

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

Having been in this field for 17 years I have learned that each presenting concern follows patterns throughout the lifespan. I find those patterns and help one to identify how these patterns have interrupted the growth process and how to intervene and move forward. With this being said I believe I have true Integrity, honesty, compassion and understanding of each individual I work with.
