My focus includes severe mental illness, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief & loss, and addiction, and provide support and guidance to those bearing the significant burden of caring for family members of individuals suffering from self-destructive behaviors. I offer a warm, but straight forward approach and frequently incorporate coaching techniques to help you address the various goals of your life. My style is interactive, eclectic, explorative, and solution focused.My background in various disciplines makes for a deep and engaging treatment experience that goes beyond intellectual insight.
