My ideal client would have issues such as trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, bipolar disorder, alcohol and/or drug abuse/dependency, family issues. My ideal clients are young to old adults who want to live a more productive life, get unstuck from their issues, and move forward to have more meaningful and fulfilling existences. My ideal clients would want their lives to be their own and not be controlled by their pasts.

I am trained and certified as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor and have spent many years working with persons who have those issues in addition to mental health disorders, histories of trauma, intense grief, family and parenting issues, and involvement with the Criminal Justice System. I am versed in both group and individual therapy as well as Women’s Recovery. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy but I’m open to utilizing whatever evidence-based approach works best for each client.

I believe that every individual has a unique story which is still being written. Some of those chapters have been fair, some great, and some have been horrible. My goal is to help each person that I provide services to with the tools to write more chapters they will be content with and continue to grow in this life. Each person is unique, and I look forward to helping others write their stories.
