My therapeutic approach to treating clients is individualized and eclectic, emphasizing strengths and encouraging self exploration as a means to discover solutions to issues brought to therapy. I believe that life is about relationships with self and others and that our desire to be loved, accepted and understood are some of the driving forces in how we interact with ourselves and others. I want to assist you in trying new approaches to the issues and relationships in your life and help you understand how your life experiences shape your world view. You have the answers; let's find solutions! I specialize in addiction issues, alcohol/drug abuse/dependence, codependency, depression/anxiety, self-esteem/personal growth, spirituality, stress management, LGBT population, grief/loss, communication skills, family dynamics, intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, couples counseling/pre-marital therapy, adolescents and crisis counseling. Unfortunately, our dear Jessie passed away on March 15th, 2019♥️🐾Upon request, I offer the added companionship of my certified, therapy dog, Jessie in session. Jessie is going to be six years old this August, 2015 and she is known to bring comfort, peace, joy humor and love into the room.
