Our Amazing Team!

I have faith in the idea that people can and do change. In my experience, change is not always a linear process. Often, when trying to change a situation or behavior, people fall short or stumble. Being able to truly evaluate an individual's strengths and building upon those, allows for the needed empowerment to overcome our barriers. I am passionate about helping individuals to overcome various behavioral health concerns.

​

Whether you are facing addiction, anxiety, anger issues, addiction to pornography, grief, stress, depression or trauma, I use a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, coupled with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to build upon your inherent resiliency to effect change.

​

I have a specific passion for helping individuals and families to realize that recovery from addiction issues is realistic and achievable. I have many years of experience providing care for substance abuse counseling for adolescent and adult populations. I realize that addiction does not discriminate, and I feel comfortable in treating individuals from all backgrounds.

I work with people who want change from a variety of concerns. No matter what it is, I believe we can all change and find a life we deserve and are happy with. I believe a therapist’s role is to help people find a life they never thought possible, not just a life they once had.

 

Additionally, I provide services such as Substance Use Disorder evaluations for individuals who are seeking driver's license reinstatement through the Secretary of State Driver's License Appeal And Assessment Division. I specialize in the treatment of Addictions, Depression, Anxiety, Posttraumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury / Catastrophic Injury, Marriage and Family Therapy / Couples Counseling, and Grief and Loss. I have extensive training in all these areas, have additional training in Auricular Acupuncture for behavioral health, and believe in a problem-solving approach to therapy.

​

I view the therapeutic relationship as the most important relationship two people can build. I view you as a person instead of a client, with strengths instead of deficiencies and believe in your right to wellness. I listen without judgement, and I believe humor and pop culture (especially movies) are some of the greatest therapeutic tools we have.

When confronted with life's trials, I perceive them as opportunities for personal growth and transformation. As a seasoned Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to delivering results and exemplary care to diverse populations. My extensive training has honed my capacity for empathy and understanding, enabling me to foster an environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing sensitive and challenging issues. I approach each interaction with an

open mind and refrain from passing judgment. 
 
My primary objective is to aid clients in identifying their aspirations and needs, thereby facilitating positive changes to enrich their lives. I specialize in serving adults, with a particular focus on addressing anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), experiencing bipolar disorder symptoms, and teacher burnout.

Central to my approach is meeting clients in their current emotional, behavioral, and social states. I endeavor to empower clients to navigate challenges and manage stress effectively. I possess specialized expertise in PTSD and Autism Spectrum Disorders, complemented by my certification as a Clinically Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional.
