The decision to seek out therapy is not always an easy one. However, finding a therapist that provides support, encouragement and techniques that can improve how you feel and function in life is worth the effort. If you are feeling overwhelmed in your relationships, work, or are experiencing low self-esteem that may cause you to use poor coping skills, take a moment and imagine yourself feeling hopeful. I am a strong believer in addressing the whole person (body, mind, soul).

If addictive behaviors are causing stress, anxiety, or struggle I provide encouragement, support and specific strategies to take charge, feel better and move forward. I specialize in helping family members develop love and limits and communicate with compassion and to know the options available for treatment.

I have over 25 years experience in the field of addiction therapy.

I have been providing clinical social work services and mental health treatment for 25 years, working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatric age groups. My treatments are for substance abuse and addictive disorders, depression, anxiety, severe stress, behavioral disorders, traumas and relational, marital and family conflicts. My treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, examining the person and his/her environment. This includes obtaining psychological, sociological and biological information. The treatment methods used are based primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I use objectivity with the Socratic method and use both deductive and inductive reasoning. Treatment can involve others when authorized.

I have had the privilege of working with diverse people of all ages--from the very young to very old and everything in between--to navigate life's present day challenges and work through past trauma.

We can work together to stabilize your mood and increase your coping skills, in order for you to make choices that empower your life and break cycles of behavior that disempower you. I am open to working with children, adolescents, adults.

My ideal Client would be someone struggling with very difficult circumstances in their interpersonal life. They may feel that things even look hopeless from their perspective. However; the Client comes to the first session and receives 30 CC's of hope, insight, and encouragement. They leave that first session with a clear understanding of their own personal goals that this therapist was able to help the Client discover. The objectives would be then identified from the Client's strengths, values, morals, and their own principles.

Welcome to Heale! Learn, Grow and Heal... Individuals have the strength and resources to meet their needs and solve their unique problems. Oftentimes, we get stuck in patterns of communication and/or behaviors which no longer meet our needs. Change occurs when individuals are provided the safety and security of expression, validation, exploring problems, underlying patterns of behaviors or unmet needs and identifying solutions. I work to empower individuals to take steps towards recovery.

I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals and couples to resolve concerns related to work/school, relationships, and life goals, among others. To accomplish this, I utilize scientifically-validated treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused, and Reality Therapy while also incorporating movies, music, books, video games, and other creative interventions to engage clients and compliment traditional treatment modalities.

Finding the right counselor is essential to your success in treatment. Using creativity, compassion, and commitment, I will meet you where you are and help you get to where you would like to be. In addition to traditional talk therapy I use a variety of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques such as meditation and hypnotherapy. Counseling can be an intimidating experience and the decision to seek counseling is a courageous one. Whether you are having difficulty with adjustment issues or recovering from a traumatic experience, your treatment will be specific to you and specialized for your individual needs.

My work with individuals and couples starts with getting to know each person and developing a unique plan for treatment. It is my goal to provide a safe and comfortable environment where you can explore issues and learn tools for growth. I utilize many forms of therapy based on my 20 plus years in the field of counseling. At all times, respect for the individual and confidentiality remain foremost.
