Addiction comes in many forms including substance abuse, dependence on screens, social media, or internet usage, and gambling addiction. I have been assisting clients in overcoming various addictions for 15 years. I will focus on your strengths to build motivation to address the need for change. We will identify the patterns of addiction and work together to develop coping skills that lead to lasting recovery. Addiction does not have to control your life. Reach out for help today.

I have focused my therapy practice on helping clients manage anxiety, phobia, and panic attacks and have treated these conditions for over 15 years. I used client-centered and strengths-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify the causes of anxiety and find helpful strategies to reduce the impact anxiety has on their lives. Let's work together to take on your anxiety and find relief.

I specialize in working with clients with depression to find the motivation for change (Motivational Interviewing), to challenge the thinking patterns that are leading to depression(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and developing coping skills that really work. This is a safe place to talk about how you feel, set backs you have along the way, and the successes you have. I look forward to working with you to take on depression and find relief.

CBT is one of the most researched, tested, and proven treatment approaches to help clients take on anxiety, depression, and a number of other conditions and concerns. We will use this approach to identify negative and distorted thoughts and challenge them to find new, realistic, and positive ways of thinking. Changing the way that you think changes the way that you feel emotionally and changes the way that you behave and the habits that you have.

Motivational Interviewing is all about developing your own motivation to take on an issue. We will focus on what your goals are, how you would like to see change in your life and what barriers and problems are getting in the way. The focus will be on taking charge of your choices and building confidence. I use this approach for taking on anxiety, depression, addictions, and other behavioral change.

This is a short term therapy approach that takes on a specific issue to find immediate solutions. Together we will set measurable, achievable goals and make progress week to week to accomplish them. This can be used for habits and behaviors that you would like to change in your life. If your looking for fast results to specific problems, this is the therapeutic intervention that you may be best for you.
