"Life isn't always in our control (and no, I'm not a fan of that either). In therapy, we can learn to manage the things within our control - so that we are better equipped to contend with life’s inevitable ups and downs. Whether you're experiencing a big transition, stress from everyday life, a personal loss, or a severe mental illness - we can work together to make things easier. I have experience treating individuals with a variety of concerns or mental health diagnoses. I strive to make everyone - of any body shape/size, sexuality, gender, race, religion, or disability - comfortable in the therapy room (and in their own skins)."

"I am a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with experience and training in individual (children, adolescents and adults), group and family therapy, crisis, homelessness, mental health and substance abuse. I believe in building mutual trust between the client and myself, which begins with listening to the individual's goals and helping them to achieve the goals they've set for themselves. I work to reduce harm, to enable client's self-care, and to create a sense of safety a client can utilize within all aspects of their daily lives."

"Through out my career, I have worked with children, teens and adults of all ages to provide a safe and supportive environment for those who are facing challenging situations and obstacles in their lives. My role is to help clients overcome these difficult situations through support, encouragement and working to challenge negative thinking patterns that prevent us from finding the motivation we need in ourselves. I work to help clients discover their strengths, internal motivation and desire to change what they do not value about themselves."

"My passion is providing individuals from preschool age to teenagers with a safe and non-judgment environment to express themselves. I have always been able to develop a healthy therapeutic relationship with youth. Children are the future, and if they are struggling, therapy can be the way to ensure that their future is positive and bright."

"I want to assist you in uncovering your true potential that allows you to lead a life that is worth celebrating. We cannot change difficult situations in the past, but we can work together to better understand and resolve these obstacles.

If you are looking for support and guidance or you are ready to make changes in your life, I can help you work toward achieving your goals."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! My goal during therapy is to create an understanding and caring environment. I help my clients see the different paths available to them to better understand themselves and get the enjoyment out of life that they deserve. Each client is an individual with their own values, beliefs, and characteristics which I respect. Therapy should not be "cookie cutter", but should take all areas of the individual into consideration. Whether someone has been struggling with their physical or mental health, job, or relationships we can work together to identify those areas that cause distress and how to approach them."

"Anxiety, depression, trauma, guilt, marital/relationship problems -- as a counselor, supervisor, and mentor for over 36 years, I've helped people find peace with themselves, peace with others, and peace with God. I've learned to trust the instincts of my patients and to help them learn how to most effectively understand and utilize their own strengths and experiences to overcome debilitating hurts, habits, and hangups. Most people I help find relief in eight or fewer visits and my focus on beneficial outcomes assures that my patients don't become mired in seemingly endless and costly introspection."

"We all have times in our lives when things get hard to sort out, they are painful to bear, or frightening to face, and we may want to make things better, but just seem stuck. It can be helpful then to turn to someone, outside our circle of family and friends, with knowledge and skills to give us the support we need. I feel privileged to be in that sort of position as a therapist, when clients allow me into their lives by sharing personal experiences and emotions. I enjoy helping them discover ways to overcome whatever difficulties they are having. "
