Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment

Building a connection with you by actively listening, reflecting and expressing empathy for your needs is the starting point of our time together. I focus on developing a compassionate environment where I can assist you with exploring issues you are interested in changing. My approach includes cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies that can help with identifying behaviors that have become roadblocks in your life. I encourage and positively reinforce your practice of healthy coping to increase resiliency and promote change.

I am experienced in helping if you are struggling with mental health or substance use problems. I commit to recognizing both your personal challenges and unique strengths. I believe in supporting you as you shape your own path forward.
