About
I have been a therapist for 17 years, during this time I have been fortunate enough to be able to help thousands of people going through many different problems in their lives. During my years in practice there are several areas that I feel I have a great deal of experience with. I have worked on an outpatient basis with client suffering from issues such as depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. I have been able to help my clients navigate the first symptoms of these problems, which can be very scary and debilitating. Also I have helped clients who have suffered from these conditions for a long time and are still trying to figure out how to feel better. I have also worked with many clients who have gone through traumatic situations in theirs lives. Dealing with past trauma can be one of the worst things that a person can deal with and I am very happy that I have helped many people learn to deal with it better.
I have spent a lot of time working in the area of substance abuse. I have helped clients who are starting to feel they are having a substance abuse problem. I have also helped clients who have had this problem for a long time and are ready to make steps to change it. I have seen improvement in many clients and I believe strongly that if you are ready to stop your addiction I can help guide you along the way. Sadly, there is a lot of stigma associated with substance abuse and many people feel misunderstood and judged. You can be sure I will not judge you.
Our interactions with family, friends and the world have a great deal to do with how we feel. I know how awful family and relationship conflicts can be. Also, the importance of good communication. I have had a lot of experience helping my clients do their part in improving their relationships. I'm always sad when I hear someone say they think constant conflict is "normal" in any relationship. It is not and there are ways to change that.
Besides working with clients with more significant emotional and substance abuse problems, I've also helped clients going through different life stages who need some guidance. Everyone goes through a handful of crises or difficult times in their lives and when it happens you do not need to go through it alone. I'd loved to be able to help.
I specialize in using a solution focus approach to help my clients find the answers to their questions within themselves. Whether your problems are due to thinking too much, negative thinking or being unsure what choices to make I'll help you figure out the steps to take to improve your life.
