Maximize your potential to enjoy a successful, happy, and productive life today! I have over 12 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children suffering from grief, trauma, and loss. I have helped people overcome depression, anxiety, and develop stress management skills. I have helped with improving self-esteem, assertiveness, and boundaries. I also have experience in intimate relationship abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I specialize in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidenced based treatments. No judgement only solution focused approaches! I’m open Monday through Saturday from 7am to 6 pm. I can tailor a specific treatment plan to meet your individual needs.
