My most extensive experiences are with people who have had issues with substance addiction, recovery, and domestic/relationship abuse. Many individuals have also had co-ocurring issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma that create additional legal, social, and spiritual issues. Goals for therapy include recovery from addiction, better emotional and physical health, and restoring healthy family and social relationships. To me, successful therapy is about facilitating personal and professional growth and helping people to process their feelings and thoughts. In so doing, they are able to make important changes in their lives.

We are all bright souls, but sometimes we lose our inner light along the way. We go through times in our lives where we feel unhappy, anxious or stuck. We experience a tragedy or a difficult situation that doesn't make sense to us. Or sometimes, we just want more out of life, but are not sure what that means, or how to get it. We all deserve to feel happy and fulfilled. I work with clients who know what is wrong and need guidance to improve it, as well as those who are not sure what the problem is but want to explore it and take steps to make it better. In short, I strive to help clients find their inner light again.

My therapeutic motto is "If you give a person a fish, they eat tonight; if you teach a person to fish, they eat for a lifetime". Ideal clients for me are those who seek their own answers between sessions and work to incorporate that knowledge into a therapeutic process that they own. My style is active & engaging, using techniques from both my clinical social work training but also my first Masters degree in old fashioned clinical psychology and my experience of more years than I want to admit. I like to say I’m a real person who encourages freedom of expression and unconditional positive regard.
