Reality Therapy in 83686

In my 40 plus years as a mental health care provider, I have found that regardless of how skilled a clinician I may be, I am only effective when I have successfully developed a working relationship with my clients. This relationship is key to addressing issues, providing encouragement, and enhancing the client's personal motivation. To make the necessary changes in thinking, beliefs and behavior, I work together with my clients to bring about about their desired goals. My areas of focus are anxiety and depressive disorders, treatment of trauma, and marital and family issues.

I Am taking new clients. You or your loved one may be unsure of where to go or what to do with the pain, stress, or the weight of the present. With a world rampant in disconnection and isolation, it can be exhausting. I work with adults, teens, and children with anxiety/mood concerns, identity issues, behavioral concerns, addiction, and relational confusion. If you or your loved one’s experience resonates or if you need a safe place to process, please reach out. I aim to support individuals with stronger connections between the mind and body, as well as in gaining more intention and creativity in healing and meeting their own goals.

Life can be messy, and things don’t always go as planned. Sometimes, it is the big stuff – the loss of a job, a chronic medical diagnosis, or a relationship breakdown. We may experience depression or anxiety and try to fix them by engaging in behaviors that only make us sadder or more worried. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, please know there is hope for a better tomorrow. I work with individuals to create an emotionally safe and nurturing space. My areas of focus are life stresses, divorce, parenting, depression, grief and loss.

I utilize a straight-forward and honest approach to therapy and I am direct in identifying real-life solutions to the presenting issues. I am an experienced counselor and I am often able to connect with and form positive relationships with those who are resistant to counseling or skeptical of the counseling process. I have found humor to be quite productive in treatment and will implement it often. I have experience in treating issues such as (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, anger issues, parenting concerns, and marriage/couples issues.

Or are you a teen looking for extra support?
