Each one of us possesses problem-solving strengths. In times of transition and stress, these strengths can seem dormant. Therapy can uncover and further develop personal resiliency. I help people enhance their unique coping strategies, to move toward a life of integrity and strength. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, with your skills, life experience and hopes an important factor in how our sessions proceed. It takes a lot of courage to start therapy. I am continually awed by the people I see in counseling. It's an honor to be involved in this work.
Life transitions, chronic pain, addiction, caring for an adult or child with health or mental health issues, loving someone struggling with substance use: these issues isolate and stress us. I have extensive experience in compassionately treating the grief, anxiety, confusion, and despondency that often accompanies these issues.
My experience includes work in many settings: private practice, major hospital systems, pain management, mental health, addiction treatment, hospice and home health home care, & teaching. Regardless of setting, my goal is to offer user-friendly tools and strategies that could help you feel better-today.
