I have an extensive background with law enforcement, correctional officers as well as inmates. In addition, I also served in the US ARMY so have insight into issues that Veterans have faced then and now. I have worked with individuals that experience depression, anxiety, insomnia, Bipolar, parenting issues, suicidal thoughts, and chaos in their lives. Let me assist you in the ability to move forward with your life.
I specialize in geriatric counseling as well as Relationship & parenting therapy. I have worked extensively with psychiatrists and at times know that a client needs medication management as well as therapy. I use an eclectic type of therapy as each individual is different in how they handle life events as well as possible mental health issues in their lives.
Life is full of tough choices, discussing life issues with your therapist doesn't have to be.
