Has life triggered fears, distrust or sadness for your and/or your loved one? Are you struggling with something that has you tossing and turning at night? Have things gotten out of control at home, work, or with an addiction? Are your loved ones' behaviors causing you problems? Are you struggling to manage an unmanageable situation. Depression, anxiety and frustrations have plagued all of us from time to time but on occasion we feel stuck and unable to get out of the rut. Other times the losses and scars we’ve been trying to ignore become too loud to ignore. There are answers to the questions and ways out of the darkness.
I believe together we can sort out the challenges bothering you. Psychotherapy is one way to untangle the confusions you’re facing and gain the support and strength you need to make changes. It is my primary goal to give you the safe place to share your life story, feel supported and understood. I would like to help you expore what's going on.
I'm working at Elite DNA Behavioral Health alongside a group of competent and caring professionals. I have experience in residential addiction treatment, outpatient community mental health and home therapy services. I use an integrative approach of evidence based practices allowing me to tailor treatment to your personality and particular needs. Email me.
