Challenges in life are essential to human growth and development, but sometimes these stressful events in life can become overwhelming. Anxiety, depressed moods, anger, irritability, acting out and even addictive and/or compulsive type behaviors are natural responses once internal coping skills have been exhausted. These symptoms can have devastating effects on relationships, work and many other life domains. However, with the assistance of a skilled therapist, these symptoms can be managed and relief is possible. Seeking the right mental health provider can be an overwhelming process. As a MH professional for 30 yrs., in a variety of mental health treatment settings, we will create new coping skills and capitalize on your strengths as a survivor. Individual self-defined goals will be developed, which will create a life that is meaningful and worth living. I have found everyone has a life story and it is essential it be heard, nurtured and its associated feelings validated. This life story sets the foundation for the healing process. Feel free to reach out to me, if you have any questions about the services, I can offer. I am currently accepting new clients.
