I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Addictions Counseling Certificate and am a new Clinician to the Headway platform. I have spent many years working within several Mental Health settings including Federally Qualified Community Health centers, Agencies contracted through the department of Veteran's Affairs and Private Practice. The focus of my work has been Individuals with Addiction, Chronic pain, Depression, Anxiety and Panic disorders etc.
I work from a no-judgement stance, believe in meeting the client where they are, and use harm reduction interventions wherever possible. Finding the root cause of our problems can be very challenging, and doing it alone can be nearly impossible. I provide a supportive, confidential space to collaboratively identify goals and work on core issues. Whether you seek s support for past trauma or would like to work on coping skills for depression or anxiety, therapy is often a solution. I have experience working with an array of presenting issues and specialize in working with Individuals. I also have professional training, education and experience working in the field of addiction. I have an Eclectic approach to therapy. I recognize that some issues need a head-on direct approach such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while others need sensitivity and patience such as Person centered.
First sessions are considered the assessment stage where we meet and gather information about presenting concerns, discuss goals in treatment and identify approaches that best suit you.
