Board Certified Counselor
Counselor
“My goal as your therapist is to support you and help you feel more able to live a meaningful life of your choice.
My area of specialization, in addition to alcohol and drug addictions, is stress
management and stress reduction. Through my experience, I have found that stress
is often related to other problems, such as addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship
and family issues, chronic pain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, grief, and eating
disorders. Therefore, my clinical work often leads me to work with individuals who
are suffering from these things as well.
I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The style of therapy
I use collaboratively with clients incorporates “mindfulness” to help clients gain
perspective and awareness of overwhelming thoughts and feelings. We will focus on
acceptance as a way to reduce stress, and commitment as a way to live the kind of
life you want to live.
Together, I hope we can work to reduce your stress, and help you live a meaningful life.”
