My Approach to Helping
The work I do is founded on the principle of helping others create the life that they want. Often times that means resolving past trauma or issues that stand in our way. Change can be a difficult process, but with someone who understands how change occurs and the pitfalls that can hinder change it is possible. I offer counseling, psychiatric services, and medication management. Every person deserves to live their life by design and I am here to help individuals through empowerment to heal and find long lasting recovery and change.
