My specialty is treating clients suffering from depression and anxiety, I am passionate about helping those who suffer from varying mental health issues. I am fully aware of the impact that living with mental health issues can take on an individual’s life. I believe in helping patients regain control in their lives in order to live their best life. Depression comes in many shapes and sizes from severe to high functioning, all forms of depression can be treatable and I believe that by working together we can come up with a treatment plan to help you feel more like yourself again. Often depression and anxiety can go hand in hand, working with clients who have experienced feelings of both depression and anxiety we can determine appropriate coping skills to help manage both. I have also worked with clients who have experienced varying trauma, from childhood trauma including sexual abuse and domestic violence as well PTSD. We are seeing more and more individuals who experience varying level of trauma from bullying at school, or in the workplace, as well as spiritual trauma from religious experiences.

Hi there, thanks for reading! For many of us it's difficult to ask for help, and sometimes it feels like no one around us understands or has been to a really dark or frightening place. To me, our family and friends are the most important things in this life, and without them eventually things can feel very empty. Although sometimes we can feel lost even when we have good people around us and a decent job. I try to help everyone I work with sort out what's helping and what's making things worse. It could be our job, an awful inner critic, what we think people see when they look at us in the grocery store, or many other things. Hopefully everyone I get to work with feels greeted warmly, heard, and like they're talking with someone who genunely cares. Humor to me is very important, and when I've been able to genuinely laugh with someone I work with, I think progress is always possible. Open to seeing adolescents 15 years old and older.

It is my belief that therapy should be a team effort between client and therapist. While this may seem obvious, it may be more difficult than it sounds due to a client's past experiences. I strive to make this an easy process by providing support and acceptance. There will be no judgement here. As a team, you and I will work toward identifying your desired outcome in counseling, your strengths, and begin pursuing the desired outcome during the first meeting. My counseling style is to be supportive, nonjudgmental and empower clients to choose a more peaceful, healthy pathway in life. Each person has their own unique journey in life and I want to respect that journey. I welcome feedback from you regarding your treatment and progress. I practice as a strength- based therapist, focusing on clients' strengths and solutions. I use evidence-based therapy techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I like to take a holistic approach that looks at the whole person and not just their mental health needs. It is important to consider a client’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. A holistic approach focusses on a person’s wellness and not just their illness or condition.

You do not have to endure these struggles alone. It is time to gain education, skills, and support to feeling better. Sharing feelings and concerns in a safe environment can be extremely beneficial and healing. The idea of having someone listen and offer a new direction from what you are used to can be very empowering. Whatever struggles you are facing today, there can be a new pathway to peace. I am here to help you find that pathway to learn, heal and grow. Open to working with adolescents 13 years and older.

I have been practicing in the mental health field for more than 25 years. My goal is to provide my clients with a professional and confidential atmosphere where they can address their concerns. Sometimes we just need someone who is not involved with our situation to listen and provide us with an unbiased professional opinion. At other times, we may need some extra help making a difficult decision or may need to learn new strategies to manage a mental health or substance abuse condition of either ourselves or that of a loved one. We don't have to do this alone. Counseling can help. I offer evidence-based strategies to help my clients process difficult feelings and learn new ways of coping with their problems. Let me know how I can help.
