I have been a therapist for over 19 years. I treat varies mental health issues such as depression, bipolar and anxiety. i specialize in alcohol and substance abuse issues. I see clients that are involved with the court system. I except all major health insurances.

Clients who come to therapy want and deserve to achieve the changes they are hoping to make in their lives. As in all other areas of our lives, we recognize the benefits of having a person who is not a family member or friend give us some outside perspective and guidance. Although therapy can feel like "work", it comes with many benefits- namely reaching your goals and perhaps going beyond what you had hoped was possible.

A vast majority of my experience is with substance abuse and mental health including the residual effects from substance abuse (i.e., family of origin, relationships and work concerns). I treat people with these issues with dignity and respect in a non-judgmental environment. My expertise includes: relapse prevention, emotion regulation, coping skills, impulse control and anger management. My modes of therapy include CBT, DBT, MI and solution focused therapy. I look forward to working with you.

Jessica specializes in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, relationship concerns, body image issues and dysmorphia, and general life transitions. She also has expertise in substance use disorders, and welcomes individuals who may be experiencing these difficulties at various stages. In her practice, Jessica crafts unique treatment plans for clients based on an integrative perspective. She considers what a client's goals are in seeking counseling; how they can make changes in their daily living routine to reduce or alleviate both mental and physical imbalances.

After graduating from social work school 46 years ago, it has been my privilege to have partnered with and met all kinds of people from all walks of life presenting with a myriad of struggles. From my perspective, treatment is all about improving one's quality of life. Experience has shown me that with the appropriate amount of support and reality testing, most people are quite capable of addressing their challenges and feeling better about themselves. I prefer using a more traditional psychodynamic approach to treatment. Such an approach emphasizes providing a positive space for people to change.

Over the past 14 years I have put together a unique system of problem solving and planning called "Growing The Whole Way" The system teaches how to think bigger and work with the mind, body and spirit for better results in making change and taking care of yourself in the process of getting there. The workbook includes key concepts and practical strategies to help with motivation, organization, meaningful planning, efficiency with follow through and self development. The book is also becomes a personalized reference outside of session time and can be used again for future goals.

I would like to provide people with the best possible counseling to meet them where they are at. I am person centered and am aware everyone is different and have different needs and goals important to be aware of in the counseling process.

Struggling with your teen? At your wits end? Feel like you have tried everything and still nothing has changed? Is your teen smart and pretty, but somehow she doesn't see herself the same way? He's doing ok in school but, could be doing much better? Is she hanging out with kids who are bad influences and, not applying herself? Is your teen making poor choices and seems to lack confidence? I can help.

My workstyle combines humor with compassion and empathy for all people. I believe that with challenges come gifts. One of the reasons we feel out of balance, tired, anxious or sad is because we tend to look outside of ourselves for happiness Wanting other people to change, wanting the world to be different, not liking what is happening-all of these things are out of our control. When we figure out what we can control (self) we can experience internal peace and calmness; When we trust the process, life begins to flow.

I believe that each individual, when supported with dignity and respect, has the innate ability to achieve their personal goals, reduce stress and increase their enjoyment of life in a positive and productive way.

Problems are meant to be worked on, people are meant to be worked with. The therapy process offers a way to work through your problems while you are partnered with, heard and supported. Many paths can be taken, all intersect with the paths of others. If your path involves grief over the loss of a loved one, relationship, health, home, job, way of life, part of yourself, then I can help. If, along the way, you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting or eldercare, I can equip you with tools and skills to help you cope.
