With thirty years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment industry, I bring a full, broad skill-set to the therapeutic encounter, equipped to treat: Depression/Mood Regulation, Anxiety, Trauma, Addiction, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders, Low-Self-Esteem. Adolescents and Adults
You may find me using a Cognitive Behavioral approach- engaging you to challenge destructive belief systems that work against your goals and cause anxiety and depression; or we may need to go slow in the sessions and hear the "story" to piece together the journey- the decisions made, the traumas experienced and the hurt and loss. All are validated, and all experiences are reviewed as learning opportunities and guide posts for the future.
I love to see clients recover the better part of themselves as they begin to understand perception is subjective, and contentment happens when we allow interpretations of ourselves to be realistic, practical, forgiving, reasonable and sensible- to be in line with the human truism that some suffering is normal but too much is too much.
