Sometimes we feel like we are broken into a million pieces. Looking at the pieces feels overwhelming and exhausting. It feels like we cannot do this on our own but we don't want to be a burden on others. Having someone help put the pieces back together can help us feel more whole. Taking a step towards healing is a starting with a helping hand. I am a Licensed Therapist with 4+ years of experience and I am formally trained in EMDR. I like to look at the root cause of our distress and what made us who we are. I do take sooner care, but for ages 20 and below.

TEENAGERS ARE CRAZY! Well at least it seems like it for a few years. Raising a teenager can be a roller coaster ride, exciting and a little scary. Typically teens experience an enormous amount physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth during these years. Providing teens with the opportunity to take part in their own counseling allows them to further develop skills which promote independence. The Prevention Center, LLC will help your child improve their overall functioning at home, school, within the family, and with peers/social environment. We provide adolescent counseling to children ages 12- 18.

Everyone's experience is unique and unfortunately can involve moments of pain, trauma and feelings of shame. Counseling can provide a safe place, free of judgement to work through anxiety, depression, low self esteem, codependency and relationship issues that are often a result of trauma. I offer a kind and accepting environment to explore struggles and assist clients in moving toward a place of healing.

Trying to recover from addiction or mental illness on your own is tremendously difficult. This is true for not only the one with the disorder, but for each family member who may feel desperate for change. You probably feel like you have exhausted yourself trying to recover or to help someone recover, but no positive change seems to last. Although reaching out for help is hard, the willingness to engage in counseling with an experienced therapist can give you the push you need and provide you with tools you would not have access to if you continue try to use the same ineffective strategies to solve the problems on your own.

My practice focuses on helping individuals and families who face life stressors associated with issues related to aging and caregiving. As an individual moves through life stages, they may experience a need for support, guidance, and normalization of emotional responses, which may range from depression, anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed. If you are a caregiver or have found yourself in a caregiving situation and are experiencing stress, guilt or confusion on how to access resources, I am here to help. I utilize a holistic, client centered approach to help individuals and families.

*I am not currently accepting new clients.* After 12 years of working in community mental health, I have worked with a diverse population of clients with various issues.

Are you hurting? Do you struggle daily with your addiction? Do you think you may be drinking too much, or has someone else been upset by your drinking, or other behavior? Are you lost about what to do about a loved one's addiction? I can help you understand your behaviors, and why you may be continuing to make the same decisions over and over again, expecting different results, and nothing ever changes. And, if nothing changes, nothing changes. I specialize in helping clients identify their destructive beliefs that are no longer useful to them, and how to replace them with more useful beliefs. I teach tapping to empower clients.

I am a Licensed Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Counselor with experience with all types of substance abuse. My experience is rooted in personal experience as I am in recovery myself, clinical experience, and Master's level education. I believe addicts of all kinds are good people with a bad disease that can live a life in recovery full of happiness, peace, and contentment. I can tailor a program to fit the individual and family. Families can be an important part of long-term recovery and I try to involve the family whenever possible. For appropriate clients, I offer a 6-month outpatient program.

Life is an ongoing journey towards wholeness. Along that road, we experience expected and unexpected changes that can cause us to question who we are and exactly where we’re going. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 30+ years, focusing on helping people understand who they are and how their life experiences have shaped them. Symptoms like anxiety and depression are signals. Psychotherapy isn’t a quick fix, but a journey of exploration to achieve deeper self understanding, which can unlock the stuckness and lead to greater emotional freedom. I believe it to be the best investment we can make towards healthier living.

This work is my passion. In addition to working with individuals facing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and difficulties with navigating life events I have specialized training in healing trauma, grief, childhood issues, and working with behavioral and substance addictions. I am deeply committed to respecting the dignity of each individual and creating a safe emotional environment to heal obstacles and difficulties in a positively focused way. I am committed to being culturally sensitive and aware of each individual's uniques assets and differences and helping them strengthen that as a part of who they are.

I believe true healing takes place when we can share our story, our pain and suffering, and our deepest thoughts and feelings in a safe place. Therapy is an investment in the self and in our relationships. It's a healing of the soul. My goal is to create a space, as well as foster a therapeutic relationship where you can feel comfortable to share, learn about yourself and grow.
