About
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start..Nido Qubein. Life will always present challenges & sometimes can be complicated with feelings of depression or anxiety. I believe by exploring the relationship between an individual’s thoughts and behaviors in a warm and empathic environment and the identification of appropriate coping skills, your quality of life can improve. A client-centered approach highlighting individual strengths to achieve personal goals is implemented. Motivational interviewing and Solution-focused techniques are employed as we partner together.
With 24 years of experience, I have supported adults presenting with mental health needs and/or complex co-morbidities. I specialize in working with adults and elderly population struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorders.
