Children and adolescents today deal with a host of issues such as coping with stress and anxiety, navigating peer and family relationships, expressing feelings appropriately and managing developmental disorders. Understanding how to best express feelings and control behaviors can lead to improved relationships at school and home and increase self-esteem. I strive to help their children and teens make positive personal and social changes that they will benefit from over the course of their lives.

My clients are referred by friends of previous clients and other professionals in the community. All my clients seek help with either substance abuse or spiritual problems. I provide assessments, individual treatment plans and Level One outpatient treatment for those who are able to succeed with only moderate support, education, and therapy.

Most of the people I work with feel stuck. Some can't move past a terrible experience, some have barely survived a lifetime of horror, some have done well and want to do even better, some want to explore how to navigate life transitions, and some want to be able to play more nicely with others. Frequently, their goals are understanding themselves and others better, ending toxic relationships and building supportive ones, and finding relief from the symptoms of trauma (anxiety, flashbacks, low self-esteem, anger, isolation, hopelessness, sleep difficulties, emotional regulation, and addiction).

My greatest hope is to create a supportive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients can feel comfortable, understood, and encouraged. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together to generate self-understanding and to make lasting changes in their everyday lives. My approach to therapy is personalized to each client's personality and needs. As such, I believe in the importance of identifying and utilizing each client's strengths, creating therapeutic goals together, and developing necessary skills to help them reach their fullest potential.

My focus in therapy is in helping the client develop a stronger sense of self-sufficiency and wholeness. It takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and be vulnerable, and I strive to honor this. Therapy works best when there is a strong therapeutic alliance and clear goals; therefore, these are the main focus of the initial therapy sessions. I have worked with a variety of clients from childhood to middle adulthood, and through relationship and consistency am able to help clients make valuable and lasting change.
