I enjoy helping people through cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches by assisting you in identifying life stressors, "triggers," and negative/self defeating thought patterns that result in undesired thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and decisions. I treat mood disorders including but not limited to depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders, in addition to alcohol and drug related disorders and substance abuse. I strive to create a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients that is built upon trust, empathy, and positive support. I want to help assist you in improving your life and I want you to enjoy the therapy process!
