Therapist

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and sense of wholeness in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for over 30 years with individuals and families, but in the last 2 decades, my main focus has been working with persons recovering or still struggling with drugs and/or alcohol abuse. Those who are struggling with anxiety and depression and feelings of failure.
