Providing individual, couples and family counseling
I work with adolescents and adults specializing in:
- Therapy for Depression and Anxiety

- Family/Blended Family Counseling
- Codependency
- Divorce
- Parenting Support
- Grief Counseling
- Stress Management /Coping Skills
- Self-esteem
- Anger management
I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive
atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.
Typically my approach toward therapy includes insight-oriented processes as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. My hope is that by processing your experiences in a supportive environment you will gain greater
insight and awareness of why you are experiencing difficulty(ies) in your life. Once you have the insight and awareness into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors you can then begin to see solutions or alternative methods to
respond to relationships or situations in your life. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also helpful as it creates an awareness of how our thoughts and interpretations influence our behaviors and emotions. Cognitive behavioral
therapies work particularly well with people who struggle with anger, depression and anxiety.
Additionally, regardless of what a client's presenting issue is, I believe it is important to learn how to communicate in a healthy way with others, build positive support systems, and develop healthy coping mechanisms to cope with
stress or difficulties in one's life. Ultimately my goal is to have the client participate in a therapeutic relationship that will empower them for a lifetime.
