About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals seeking support with anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, and personal growth. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate life transitions, manage difficult emotions, and improve communication skills. Whether you're facing mental health concerns or striving for personal development, I provide a compassionate and collaborative approach to help you achieve your goals and enhance your overall well-being.

My Background and Approach

I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology and a master's in Social Work. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor, I have extensive experience with clients aged 12 to 75, specializing in anxiety, depression, and substance use issues. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, gestalt, and psychodynamic techniques, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. My goal is to help you identify and overcome obstacles to growth and success in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. By fostering understanding and encouragement, I assist you in developing healthier coping mechanisms, improving communication skills, and achieving personal goals. Whether you face mental health challenges or seek personal development, my diverse expertise ensures personalized and effective care.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that problems come from a variety of sources, sometimes our upbringing teaches us, sometimes thoughts influence what we do, and sometimes we have beliefs that aren’t in alignment with our goals. I believe we can change behavior if we change thoughts and beliefs. I believe everyone wants to live a better life, whatever that is for each of us. I also believe that two are better than one, which is why it’s so helpful to have an outside perspective!
