My career as a therapist has spanned over 20 years helping individuals manage various challenges including work-related stress, racial stress, substance abuse, depression, anxiety and interpersonal relationships. I am a certified Solution Focused Brief therapist with a clinical social work and employee assistance background. I am also a DOT Qualified Substance Abuse Professional and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. My work spans diverse settings including health care, education, corporations, government agencies and the military. I have witnessed people from all walks of life struggling against seemingly unsurmountable odds and they have found ways to manage them in a manner which allowed hope to be present. I have learned that all human beings seeking help to manage life's challenges share in common a desire to feel safe, respected and heard. My philosophy centers on creating that supportive environment for clients, aiming to identify strengths and amplify hope in order to construct meaningful change. You have taken the first step by merely exploring options to feel happier, to cope better...a pathway to revealing the better version of yourself.... your positive transformation has already begun. "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice." Bob Marley
