In Person and Online Sessions 
I have worked in the behavioral health field for 30+ years, mostly spent in the area of drug/alcohol. However, I have expertise in treating mental health disorders with a strong background in treating trauma-related disorders.
I have a strong belief in the importance of the therapeutic relationship as being the single most factor in a successful treatment outcome. I take a holistic approach in that I assess the impact of one's past on their current sense of self, relationships with others, as well as coping skills without re-traumatizing the individual.
