We all face difficult times in life but when it becomes harder to face life's challenges, depression or anxiety may be a factor. I view therapy as not only an opportunity to learn techniques to mangage and cope with symptoms of depression and anxiety, but also as a journey of self exploration, awareness/understanding, and growth--a chance to uncover contributing factors to depression/anxiety, such as family/relationship problems, substance abuse, codependency, and job stress needing to be addressed. My style is empathic and supportive, providing a non-judgmental atmosphere for personal growth and change.
I have over 18 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of therapuetic settings including outpatient treatment centers, in home therapy programs and residential treatment centers.
