Extra Support when you need it most

  • Perhaps right now you feel empty, disappointed in yourself, detached or just plain sad

  • Maybe it is that you have made some bad decisions that brought you down a path you never imagined for yourself. 

  • Or your mood feels out of control, you can not stop crying and perhaps its the opposite and you are feeling on top of the world for no particular reason. 

I have been there and I want to use my experiences to help bring you back to center.  My experiences do not  mean I know what is best for you but they do mean that I have some knowledge of what it is like to fall down and feel like its impossible to get back up.

I am

  • compassionate

  • supportive

  • and knowledgeable.

My passion for working with people in challenging situations is what sets me apart from others.  Because I approach client goals with a team mentality you will be in the drivers seat from day one.  I combine practices from:

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy

  • Mindfulness

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

  • Solution Focused Therapy

  • EMDR

I have been able to connect with people in dark places because I approach each client with respect and admiration not only for the challenges they face and for the courage they demonstrate by seeking new ways to be in the world through counseling.  My sincerity allows me to earn the trust of doubting and struggling clients as well as facilitate a team approach to therapy. 

I recognize that the keys to success are held by the client.  By reflecting this idea back to you, I am able to create spaced for hope even when the you feel there is nothing to believe in or look forward to.  Regardless of whether you are dealing with teenage, young adult, or adult substance use problems or you need help navigating a mental health diagnosis such as Bipolar Disorder, Depression, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder I will be by your side to guide you through some of life's most difficult challenges. You may have never imagined yourself being able to put down the bottle, hold down a job, or participate in a loving and healthy relationship but together we can accomplish these things.  By allowing you to be the expert on your own life, you will feel empowered to make changes that can drastically improve your situation, your ability to cope, and the ability to make good decisions.
