About My Clients

Navigating life changes can be tough, but I'm here to help you through them. I focus on supporting teens, families, and individuals dealing with complex issues who are not in immediate crisis. I believe therapy can be a powerful tool for growth, helping you to overcome challenges while building resilience. Life is tough enough and I am here to help.

My Background and Approach

With 25 years of experience, I’ve worked in many settings including: overnight camps, residential programs, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and crisis evaluations. This diverse background has deepened my understanding of behavioral, addiction, and trauma-related issues. I am passionate about working with families and teens because I see great potential for positive change. I focus on understanding your unique challenges, identifying obstacles, and helping you make the connections needed to move forward. While I mainly offer individual sessions, I will be adding group and seminar-style classes to provide more tools and collaborative support. I use an integrated approach to ensure that we have the flexibility and the depth of knowledge to work with you on making the changes you want. Which approaches we integrate into the sessions will be a decision we make together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Your text is clear and conveys a strong message. Here’s a revised version with some grammatical and stylistic adjustments: I believe we have great potential for change and growth. This is best achieved when we can see our concerns and issues through another's eyes. I have worked with youth and individuals exhibiting significant behavioral challenges. I have been scratched, hit, and kicked. I have dealt with homicidal and suicidal thoughts, I have worked with psychosis and hallucinations. Through it all, I firmly believed that these were merely the thoughts, behaviors, and symptoms, and not the individuals sitting in front of me. I believe that those experiences mean that I can cannot with most people and I believe that as I work with a person, I will eventually meet the person they aspire to be.
