I understand that mental health, trauma, and substance use offer unique challenges to individuals and families, sometimes requiring outside help to overcome these issues. I provide you as a client with a safe, nonjudgmental space to enhance self discovery and skill building for a healthy and successful lifestyle. My goals for all my clients include building on already effective life skills, learning new skills that support your therapy goals, exploring how past traumas contribute to current problems, and overall feeling respected as a human being through the therapy process.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-CP), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), and Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC). I have over 13 years of experience working with adolescents and adults with mental health, substance use, and trauma disorders, as well as their family members.
As a person or family member it is common to feel anxious about the challenges of mental health, trauma, substance use, and recovery. I'm experienced in working with these obstacles and use behavioral skills, energy healing, and cognitive restructuring to help you achieve your goals. E-mail or call me to start making changes today.
