Great to meet you!

I have been Mental Health and Substance Abuse counselor for the past 20 years. I help clients to sort out struggles they are dealing and focus on finding the core issues that need to be addressed. I teach clients how to listen to their body and challenge negative thoughts and behaviors which helps to release negative thought patterns and behaviors, and find internal clarity and self acceptance .

My approach to therapy

I utilize a combination of therapeutic skills, letting client be the driver of their treatment goals. Learning how to become aware of your thought processes and work on making life long changes.

What you can expect from me

Clients become aware of how thoughts developed throughout their lives affect the way they approach situations on a daily basis. Working collaboratively we work on understanding self destructive behaviors and how to become a more confident person.

This process helps client to work on issues related to anxiety, depression, and ADHD as well as some trauma issues.
