Therapy style

I love working with people and have experience with people from all walks of life. Whether you are a young adult facing the challenges of life's transitions (career, college, relationships, independence), a family having struggles with their teen, or a person struggling with self-acceptance, stress, anxiety, or depression, relationship issues — we will address your struggles and concerns together. I have 30+ years of experience in both mental health and addiction. I believe that by working together, we can address and master whatever is challenging you. I use a combination of positive regard and other modalities listed above!
