I have always maintained the belief that individuals who seek clinical support are the healthy ones- they recognize that something is wrong and want to make a change. Becoming aware is the first step to moving forward. However, awareness without action can create, frustration, depression, anxiety and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. It is my job to navigate your complicated and conflicted emotions/behaviors to bring you to a place where you can make healthy choices and decisions. My goal is to teach you strategies that will break the cycle to create a new way of being - to live in the present and plan for the future.
As a seasoned clinician, I bring a skill set founded on the guiding principles of family systems, trauma informed treatment and cognitive behavior therapy. I have worked extensively with individuals, couples and families struggling with anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, substance abuse recovery and relationship issues. I have certifications in both Family Systems and Substance Abuse.
With over 25 years of practice, I bring compassion, support and a mature sensitivity to my work. I also have extensive administrative experience and have coached individuals struggling with work related issues.
