Do you ever find yourself irritated at little things, or the people close to you? Do you find yourself constantly worried, or discouraged by everyday life? Therapy can be a scary thing to consider, but my goal is to help you be the best version of yourself with a little support and encouragement! I use cognitive behavioral strategies mixed with brain & body education so my patients have a better understanding of how and why they may react to things in life that seem automatic and how they can take charge and re-direct these unhelpful reactions to feel more successful in life. Not only am I a licensed therapist, I am a certified anger management and domestic violence specialist as well as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor. I have worked in residential, outpatient, and forensic settings with a variety of men and women with different backgrounds and goals. Additionally, I am EMDR trained. Anger is a natural emotion that is unavoidable, so is sadness, and worry. During my sessions we will create a plan to deal with these unpleasant feelings and re-capture the strengths and skills you once had, and discover new ones!
