I'm a retired veteran, have been working as a social worker/therapist since 2004, and have been in private practice since 2017. I have extensive and successful experience helping people with trauma/PTSD, relationships, boundaries, emotions, domestic violence, sexual trauma, substance abuse, grief, parenting, and more.
I really don't care what's wrong with people. Instead, I focus on what's happened to them. This perspective is deeper, treating problems like depression, anxiety, substance use, etc., as symptoms of an underlying cause. Therapy here isn't just talk. It's often experiential - doing things - with a focus on the mind and the body.
Therapy is introspective, you will learn a lot about yourself. My therapy approach is collaborative, you are the expert on you. I keep sessions light-hearted yet focused on the problems my clients come in with. Sessions aren't simply pleasant conversations where my clients talk and I listen. There is actual work involved, as well as progress.
