I am accepting new clients! I specialize in substance abuse, men's issues, mood disorders, life transitions, and feeling overwhelmed with the challenges of daily life. I work with clients as young as 14, supporting and navigating school issues and relationships. My primary goal is to assist you in improving your quality-of-life and overall satisfaction, regardless of your age or issue. View 4 Photos My counseling approach is based on Humanistic/Existentialism, and I incorporate Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused therapy. In the past five years, I have been providing mental health services in multiple settings, including outpatient, acute inpatient psychiatric unit, and a dual-diagnosis addiction treatment center. I enter the therapeutic environment with a sense of empathy, compassion, and freedom from judgement. It is my belief that therapy enables you to explore, evaluate, and organize life through a supportive and encouraging relationship. My goal is to create a secure and caring environment that allows clients to feel comfortable to be open.
