I have over 10 years of experience as a therapist.  I am a creative, compassionate and organized mental health professional dedicated to providing exceptional dual diagnosis treatment for adolescents and adults in individual, family and group settings. Finding a connection with my clients in order to build and maintain a therapeutic relationship is an important element of my counseling style.  I am passionate about helping individuals discover internal motivation, strengths and coping skills while learning, growing and accomplishing goals.

​

My primary area of specialization is grief & loss.  Many people associate grief & loss specifically with death & dying.  I believe that grief and loss is much wider.  It might be the death of a loved one or an animal companion.  It could also be the loss of a job or relationship or dream.  Perhaps it is understanding what you have given up to become who you are today or what you need to change to get to where you want to go.  This specialization encompasses anxiety depression, substance use, career development, self-esteem & skill building, as well as end of life.  

​

I have specialized training and experience to provide faith based counseling upon request.  I will meet you where you are on your faith journey.
