To be human is to have joy and struggle. That being said, sometimes when people make every effort to do their best in life, they still have hard times for many reasons. Sometimes people seek out a professional counselor for help with mental health issues, substance abuse issues or other aspects of life that are difficult to manage alone. Hopefully, by engaging in counseling you will get help in developing and meeting your individual goals and finding solutions to many facets of life that have been difficult, e.g., mental health, life transitions, grief, etc. I specialize in substance use disorders for adolescents and adults. I utilize CBT and 12 Step. I also counsel loved ones of substance users. I also specialize in counseling people with chronic pain who often have anxiety, depression, PTSD or substance use as well. Lastly, I work with women that have pre- and post-partum depression, anxiety, OCD, psychosis. Counseling should be in a safe and comfortable environment for a person to work toward personal wellness. The most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the person. Reach out to me for a consultation.
