Everyone goes through difficult times and needs a little additional support sometimes.  I am interested in assisting you in finding ways to meet your personal goals.  This is a collaborative, confidential process that can involve learning new coping skills, improving communication skills, increasing motivation for change, working through past trauma or feelings of grief, starting recovery for an addiction, or any of numerous other therapeutic goals.   I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker that provides individual, couples and family counseling for adults and adolescents.  I am also professionally trained as a Chemical Dependency Counselor and a specialist in Children’s Mental Health.  I can help you improve your life by using an integrated approach including such methods as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.  Additionally, I have been trained and experienced a lot of success in using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Flash Technique.  I have been working as a mental health therapist since 2000, and I find it very rewarding to be able to help others enrich their lives.
