I offer individual, couples and family counseling dealing with issues ranging from depression, anxiety, and substance abuse to improving relationships, self esteem and communication. I honor the healing process that comes about from the therapeutic alliance and look to explore ways to help you make a connection to your mind, body and spirit. The journey inwards is often painful and overwhelming; my hope is to walk beside you on your path to greater satisfaction, happiness and health. Through compassion and a nonjudgmental approach, I hope to help you realize the richness and depth of the possibilities for growth and transformation. I currently specialize in substance abuse counseling and dual diagnosis treatment. I have personal experience in the 12 step programs (AA/NA & Coda) and base my theoretical orientation from the perspective that one needs social and spiritual support as well as cognitive restructuring to overcome destructive modes of thinking/behavior. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and mindfulness based stress reduction techniques to help each individual correct distorted thinking, feeling and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship conflicts, substance dependence and low self esteem.
