About this provider
Clients I Work With
I work with adults for individual and couples therapy. I specialize in childhood trauma/attachment issues, and how these experiences affect adult relationship issues. I also specialize in alcohol/gambling/substance use disorder.
Approach
Sessions with me are warm and peppered with a sense of humor when needed. I’m a real person who’s down to earth and I meet my clients where they are at. We work together using the tools learned in therapy to get the best possible result.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
My personal beliefs and lived experience really impacts how I am as a therapist. I have worked an inpatient psychiatric units, nursing homes, substance abuse clinics, and in private practice. I’ve been in the field of social work for a 28 years and I bring all of those years with me into session. This allows me to customize a plan of care for each client using all the tools in my toolbox.
More About My Practice
I offer daytime, evening, weekend availability. I am very flexible with scheduling when I can be. I understand that life is going to life and things come up. I am fine with rescheduling sessions to ensure that clients are seen as often as necessary to address the issues that are happening.
