It as a privilege to work with any client who makes a choice to place their trust and share their experiences with me as their therapist. The starting point in therapy is to build a positive therapeutic alliance together and to always recognize the commitment it takes when making a decision to receive therapy. The strength it takes to talk about the difficult things, to face them, and to find the way through it to to be the best version of yourself. I believe in meeting someone where they are at, to focus on their individualized situations and circumstances, and what they identify as the issues, needs, and goals are for treatment. My specialties are in working with alcohol and addiction treatment along with other compulsive disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues including infidelity, marital conflict, and divorce as well as trauma informed care, PTSD, and grief related issues. I also specialize in couples and family therapy as well as work with the geriatric population. I believe in the importance of providing a safe space for holistic healing. For the client to know you are vested in their treatment needs, that you are supportive and engaging with them during this process. This promotes an environment for sharing emotions and experiences to reach optimal health and wellness.
