Do you ever get to work and realize you don’t remember the drive? Does life feel like too much, but you don’t have anyone to talk to? Do you keep your feelings inside, hoping they’ll just go away?
Sometimes, life can feel like a shaken soda bottle. Things get turned upside down, and you might feel like you’re about to burst. But everyone "explodes" in different ways—some get angry, some shut down, others just feel stuck.
As your therapist, I want to help you turn those hard moments into something more manageable. Like a soda, we’ll work on slowly letting out the pressure carefully, and in a way that helps you feel more in control.
I have worked with adolescents, adults, families, couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures and religions. I have experience working with clients on crisis stabilization, depression, anxiety, psychosis, autism, PTSD/trauma, anger management, life transition, terminal illnesses, divorce, sexual assault victims, parenting and gender issues.
As a Doctor of Social Work, military veteran, and from life experiences, my focus is to work with individuals and groups about veterans issues, grief and loss, end-of-life stages, the terminally ill, law enforcement, nutrition, self-care, and couples counseling. Let’s work together on finding a treatment approach that is specific to your needs.
