My personal belief is that when situations in life are thrown at us we can ignore them or try to accept and work through them. Each thing we go through in life impacts who we are as a person. We can either let them make us bitter or make us better. My goal for clients is to help you on your journey by providing tools, education, and support so you can find positive solutions to your problems by creating a comfortable, non-judgmental environment by demonstrating unconditional positive regard.
"Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the effects of the damage no longer control our lives." Earnie Larsen. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from several different disciplines. I use the therapy that I think is best suited for you and your current life situation.
My experience ranges from acute, inpatient care, to intensive outpatient treatment. I have experience work with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar, and other diagnoses. I especially enjoy working with LGBT clients.
