You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or inability to find happiness.  You may be having problems with addiction or substance abuse.  Or you may be a concerned family member of someone addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs.  You might even be unhappy and frustrated in your marriage or other relationships.  If you are having any of the above issues or problems in your life, chances are, that you have come to the right place. 

My approaches to mental health, marriage/family, and substance abuse counseling are practical, interactive, and solution-focused.  I provide support, practical feedback and guidance to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns.  Together, you and I find solutions to your challenges and psychological/emotional issues. 

Utilizing several theoretical frameworks and approaches, I press into service the most appropriate styles and techniques to assist you, as an individual, in ways most helpful to you.  We will work together to build on your strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

In our initial session, you and I together, identify the problems, issues, or symptoms that may be troubling you.  We will also identify your strengths and skills, then develop a formal plan of action to tackle those problems.  Our plan of action serves as a blueprint to accomplish your goals.
