More Info About My Practice

My practice sometimes involves work with family members who may be affected by their loved ones' problems (trauma, addiction, depression). Many people find hope when they realize that renewed communication, and understanding of the problem, can make a difference.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

Issues that I specialize in: trauma/abuse recovery, anxiety management (including fears and worry), depression and loss, and relationship challenges. I also practice empowering those who are struggling with health or medical issues, that may or may not be stress related.

My View on the Nature of 'Disorders'

Most people are faced with multiple stressors in daily life, and people who seek counseling often carry an "overload" of these stressors. Severe stress can rapidly cause people to lose a sense of meaning in their life. I view psychological challenges or diagnoses as commonly connected in these stressors, so this is primary in treatment planning with clients.
