There is no such thing as normal and you're not crazy. Everyone experiences life changes/transitions. Are you feeling confused? Stressed? Do you feel stuck in your life? Substance use issues? Single parent or parenting concerns? Trying to cope with changes in your relationship or marriage? You're not alone!! My goal is to help renew and restore your life. To help you overcome life challenges /barriers and achieve mental wellness. Don't let what other say about therapy stop you from healing!
I am a dual diagnoses clinician (mental health/substance use). I want to help others to achieve their best mental wellness. My passion is to assist those who are facing mental health or life changing concerns with therapeutic services that will enhance and bring restoration to their lives. I often use CBT, Re-framing and Trauma Therapy.
I want you to live beyond stress and trauma. You can live and not just exist. I can provide treatment services for: depression, grief, trauma, youth ,addiction, family/ relationship therapy and other behavioral health concerns.
