You deserve to be happy. Starting therapy when you need to means that you know, deep down; that you can be. I've provided Individual, Family, Marital and Group psychotherapy to civilian and active duty service members and their dependents; in hospice, in substance abuse treatment settings; in domestic violence and family therapy settings both inpatient and outpatient. No matter the presenting problems, the need to regain a sense of balance, to find your real self, to see a future you want is a big part of healing. Working with the right therapist can help you claim ownership over your own life and recover your power.
My therapeutic focus is client centered; strength and competency based. I understand that when a person presents for psychotherapy they come with wisdom, and a wealth of experience in what has worked for them in the past and what hasn't. Most people really do know what they need to heal. Therapy begins with a commitment to work respectfully and safely.
If you've read this far, then perhaps it may be that my therapeutic approach, which is informed by strength and competency - based training in Addiction, Trauma. Grief, Loss and Family Conflict may work for you. If you'd like to schedule a consult, I would be happy to meet with you for a free 15 minute consult. Leave a message and I'll call you back.

In beginning therapeutic work with you, my first goal will be to make sure you know that I appreciate the risk you are taking in talking with someone who doesn't know you. My second goal is to insure that questions you may have about how therapy works are answered. I'll work to understand your struggles so that we can create a plan for resolving the problems that brought you to therapy .

My focus is competency and strength - based because finding your power allows you "permission" to risk making healthy decisions that will benefit you. Knowing how "symptoms" have kept you safe helps you see the powerful courage you've already used and use now. Healing gives light to the idea that the two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you know why.
