I believe every person seeks to move forward. Sometimes we get sidetracked and make damaging choices. Other times we become overwhelmed by taxed coping skills. On these occasions, a third party helps clarify issues and explore solution options. Quick solutions offer hope and diminish pain. Counseling intervention is a resolution tool. Everyone is capable of changing thinking and behaviors when presented the right tools and a supportive, nurturing environment. Allow me to join with you to tackle life's challenges and create a more positive and supportive life environment, allowing you to utilize your talents and discard outdated life stories.I am a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and The Association for Addiction Counselors (NAADAC).
