Are you drinking or using too much? Do you struggle to know your purpose in life? I'm well-equipped to treat those experiencing substance abuse, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, lack of motivation, loss of identity, feelings of not being "good enough," codependency, communication issues, gender role issues, workplace stress, "daddy issues," mom guilt, overwhelming resentments, and feeling "stuck." I help clients discover the root of their issues in order to help them change their thinking, manage their emotions, and develop new routines and behaviors so they can move forward with a happy, peaceful, and productive life. My goal is not to keep clients in therapy forever. Instead, we work together to discover and utilize individualized tools that each client can eventually use on his or her own in the world. I hold my clients accountable for doing their work both in and out of session in order to reap the most benefits of long-lasting, sustainable change. I address with my clients many issues I have successfully dealt with myself. As a therapist who has "been there, done that," I have the utmost empathy toward my clients, and develop individualized treatment plans because I understand that issues are never "one size fits all." Drug and alcohol evaluations and interventions are now offered, as well as EMDR.
