Life can be very challenging and we all have ways of coping with these challenges. Some ways of coping are healthy; others, not so much. When life overwhelms us, whether in marriage, family, job, or military career, our coping skills may no longer help us manage and we may look for quick fixes like alcohol or substances. If alcohol or substance use has taken over your life, or if anger and out-of-control emotions are ruling you, you have come to the right place.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Brain Injury Specialist. I provide mental health and substance abuse treatment for individuals. I have a special interest in treating military members and Veterans. I am the spouse of a retired military member and grew up in an Air Force Family. This provides me with a unique understanding of the military culture and issues facing the military population. I also enjoy working with the geriatric population to help individuals cope with the changes that come later in life.

Can you remember a time when anxiety, depression and feelings of stress weren’t your “norm," but those days are becoming harder to remember? If you had the tools to change that, what could you do with your life? As your therapist, I help individuals just like you: the ones that have it within them to regain their confidence and find the sense of balance they've been looking for in life, but just need the support to do that. Together we'll explore life's challenges, both past and present that you feel are holding you back.

The ideal client is an individual who desires help. I am not going to work harder than anyone to better themselves. You have to be willing to do the work with me. This work is hard. It is not fun to talk about things that you have struggled with and I deeply understand this. The reason I got into counseling is that I was forced to go to counseling as a child and refused to engage. It was not until I was a teenager and made the decision to ask for help, that it made a difference. Your desire and passion to want to make a difference in your life matters. I can help you on your path.

I have been a practicing counselor since 1994 and enjoy working with clients from age 6-106, although I do have a particular fondness for adolescents, especially the oppositional ones. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and have helped my clients navigate the "rough waters" that they must travel through. I have worked with trauma, anxiety, depression, adolescent issues, and complex mental health issues. Growing up in a military family, I also have a fondness and appreciation for our military families and the unique challenges they face.

In the past, you tackled life easily, enjoyed good friends, and felt good overall about your place in the world. But then something changed, either abruptly or gradually. Now your confidence is off, you doubt yourself, and feel disconnected to almost everyone. You want to feel like you again. You want a peaceful mind, relaxed around people, connected and present in your life.
