Are you experiencing anxiety you can’t just shake? Are you experiencing depression due to life situations? Are you experiencing trauma from your past? Are you experiencing addiction use, abuse, or relapse? All of these struggles along with life’s challenges can be overwhelming. Your life doesn’t have to be this challenging anymore. Choose to engage in therapy, develop trust, and share your concerns with someone who cares.
One of the main reasons for my success is that I utilize extremely effective evidence-based therapy. This is paired with a warm, compassionate, judgment-free environment. I aim to ensure each client is welcomed, cared for, accepted, and empowered, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.
I offer therapy in a safe environment where the client feels comfortable. I approach therapy in a straightforward, empathetic, open-minded, and non-judgmental manner. I specialize in addiction, PTSD, MST, crisis intervention, life difficulties, and life changes will receive confidential therapy in a safe place where confidentiality is honored.

I will explain the process of therapy. I discuss what goals look like and how to reach them. Goal setting is based on the client's needs, strengths, and weaknesses. We discuss what issue they will begin working on and move on from there. I typically stress working on a goal that can be addressed and completed early in treatment. We will then move into deeper areas of concern.
