Practice Description
I am a licensed family therapist and certified addiction counselor. I provide therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families who have mental health problems, addiction issues, medical issues, relationship difficulties, behavior problems with children, grief issues, or difficulty coping with life stressors.
I help my clients to recognize how their thought process is connected to their feelings and behaviors and, in turn, to the problem cycle that keeps them stuck in their difficulties. Also, I help clients recognize their coping strategies that have become a problem. I help my clients to develop coping skills that generate change and get them "unstuck" in their problem cycle. I believe that every person can learn and grow from their difficulties and life challenges on their life journey.
In addition, I am a certified yoga instructor and utilize the ancient yoga philosophy and practice to help clients be "in the moment" and mindful. Through yoga breathing and practice clients learn to tab into their relaxation system. This, in turn, helps them to enhance their emotional and physical well-being.
