If you are exhausted with trying the same thing over and over, I can help. I will help you identify areas and habits that keep you stuck and learn skills to help you move forward. I tend to be direct and honest with clients and encourage feedback from you as we move forward. If you feel something does not work for you, I am open to switching gears toward what you believe will help you. However, in saying that, I too will be honest with you regarding your progress, strengths, barriers, and hesitations or patterns of behaviors that I observe. I enjoy working with clients who are open to joking, humor, and banter.
I have worked in the behavioral health field for 20 years, in a variety of settings. I have experience working with a number of difficulties. I specialize in substance and food addiction, personality disorders, grief, loss and trauma. I work with individuals struggling with life transitions and relationships. I work with a trauma and solution focused lens.
I believe understanding our roots, origins, and upbringings plays a strong role in who we are as adults. Often in our work together, we will discover how early experiences connect to current experiences. Your story is highly influential in your current lived experience. Understanding and exploring the connections will be pivotal to your growth and change.
