I specialize in treating individuals with Anxiety and Depression, Bipolar, Trauma/PTSD from Sexual or Physical abuse, as well as Behavior issues,emotional abuse and anger management . A majority of my career has been spent working with dual diagnosis clients, and individuals suffering from severe mental illness. I believe that early intervention can help transform children and their parents into empowered families and individuals. I utilize a mixture of the cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, and postmodern theoretical approaches that assist individuals in consciously deciding what to focus on and not allow unwanted or intrusive thoughts in. These modalities also help a client to envision a future and acquire the coping mechanisms and skills to achieve the goals he/she desires.
