A lot of focus on people with anxiety and depression disorder. Mood swings or other emotional midsections that are causing some level of conflict in their family, social, educational or financial life. A majority of the people I work vary in what they know about themselves from just knowing somethings and wanting to fix it to others being forced by a friend, family member or just some stranger that passed along my name to someone. Range of symptoms from minor to discharges from high levels of care.

I have found that my clients gain the deepest rewards when we work through difficult and dynamic issues. I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples. We all grow and evolve through our life. There are times we struggle through a transition and our time together will incorporate your existing strengths with therapy-enhanced skills that we create together. I have developed strong relationships with psychiatrists, attorneys, schools, and court representatives. I can help you through this...let's get to work!

Strategies to Improve Your Marriage, Your Family & Yourself

If you’re reading this congratulations on taking the first step towards achieving your goals. You’ve decided to reach out and sometimes that is the hardest part. For over 15 years I’ve enjoyed helping those navigate the path to healing. I believe a safe and empathic environment is the foundation to this path. My practice works with those facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, performance issues, adoption, and relationship conflict. After many years behind the athletic bench I also have a passion for working with athletes and performers seeking to enhance the mental side of their game or barriers that impact their performance.

I see adolescents and adults who suffer with various issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, relationship problems, as well as substance abuse and addiction. I believe in the good nature of most people and the need to grow and learn from our life experiences. At times in our life, it becomes important to stop and recognize our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can interfere with who we want to be and hope to become. In my practice, I utilize an array of treatment modalities that will help you to make better decisions for yourself, your partner and/or your family.

There are times in all of our lives when we could use some extra support. Sometimes discussing issues with family members and friends can be challenging and uncomfortable. Feeling hurt, misunderstood, angry, and confused are all normal emotions that each of us feel. Struggling with addiction, mental health issues, and the stress that comes with every-day life can put strains on our relationships, finances, and self-esteem. My goal is to assist in providing you with hope, guidance, perspective, and professional insight.

Our lives are full of challenging and stressful circumstances, both in the world we live and within ourselves. The way we react, respond and relate to our inner and outer experiences determines how we feel and how we see ourselves. Psychotherapy is about getting support, developing understanding and insight into the nature of our personal and relational problems, and learning tools and skills to help us navigate the many challenges that we face in our lives. With a kind and accepting presence, I offer a supportive and compassionate approach where we work collaboratively toward problem solving, insight, and personal growth.

Reaching out for help can be difficult. Often times, we tend to neglect the need for our own self-care as we tackle the challenges of daily life and take care of the ones we love. Platinum Counseling offers a comfortable and casual environment where you can feel safe and supported. We encourage you to discuss your vulnerabilities, without judgement, with professionals who want to hear about your experiences. We can provide you with therapeutic strategies and education to understand and tackle your challenges while increasing your motivation to fulfill your own personal goals. We encourage you to contact us.

An important, positive, life event occurs when you decide to seek therapy. It is not an easy decision. Should you decide to call me, you can anticipate that it will be a gentle, informative and positive experience. Clients describe me as being upbeat, easygoing and knowledgable.

What will always happen is hope as we work together to repair what I often describe as "broken dreams."

Negotiating change can be a daunting task for adolescents and adults alike causing significant stress. This emotional or behavioral reaction can take the form of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and/or behavioral changes. Triggers include work/school problems, moving, financial issues, relationship difficulties, family conflict, illness, or starting a new school/job. Since 2005, I have assisted countless adolescents and adults as they navigate the challenges presented to them. Utilizing psychotherapy and coaching, I work with individuals, couples, & families. My personal style is best described as warm, genuine, & understanding. My services are delivered with compassion, empathy, and a twist of humor.

I am passionate and driven in helping others realize their true potential. In counseling, we will explore what is working for you and what may be getting in the way of you being the person you want to be. Seeing my clients applying the skills and tools learned in counseling to be free from their anxiety, depression, and fears is priceless. My approach is collaborative and results driven. I use Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy (CBT) and other treatment modalities to help you see the connection of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people examine how they make sense of what is happening around them and how these

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.
