I have been providing therapy for over 24 years now. I obtained my Master's in Social Work in 1998 and specialize in treating individuals suffering from co-occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders. I also provide Impaired Driver Assessments and work from a Cognitive Behavioral model. I enjoy live music, meditation and yoga.
I believe in the importance of the therapeutic alliance and I utilize an open and sincere approach in an effort to build rapport and trust. I operate from a holistic perspective and as such incorporate mindfulness techniques into my practice and assist my clients in embracing daily challenges as opportunities for self-growth. I work with my clients to enhance their awareness regarding melding of the mental and physical selves.
I strive to create an environment of authenticity and sincerity. I work alongside my clients to assist them in identifying positive coping skills and ways to enhance their emotional outlook; both internally and externally. We explore various exercises with the goal of achieving a state of contentment and gratitude.
