Congratulations on being ready to make change in your life! Participating in counseling/therapy is one way of seeking the necessary changes to feel at peace with your life. No matter your age, change is possible and you deserve it.

• Mental health care is healthcare, pure and simple. When struggling with feeling like you're brain is "wired wrong" or not fitting in with the world around you, it can seem that no one understands. But know this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I'm right there with you, and I want to help.

  • I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reproccesing (EMDR). I incorporate these approaches with an understanding of family systems, internal family systems, and more.

  • Part of managing mental health symptoms is taking care of your whole body. I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional. In the scope of my practice that means that I can work with you to make nutritional and supplemental changes that support mental health (without pharmaceutical intervention or in combination with it).

• If you have ever felt that alcohol or drug use is causing difficulty in your life, let me help! If you love someone whose alcohol or drug use is worrying you, let me help!

  • Problems caused by substance use disorder: guilt, shame, strained relationships, lost jobs, criminal justice involvement, eviction, depression, anxiety, and on and on.

  • Problems caused by your loved one's substance use disorder: sleep disturbance, worry, anger, fear, physical ailments from stress, strained relationships, lost work productivity, and on and on.

• For couples who are engaged to be married, or are looking to revitalize their marriage, I am certified by Prepare-Enrich to help! For more information about this couples program, visit prepare-enrich.com.
