I work with individuals who struggle with challenges associated with eating, alcohol, prescription medication and mental health issues. If you have struggled with substances or believe you may have an addiction; have problems with eating whether binging, bulimia, have had or are thinking of weight loss surgery*; and/or if you suffer from a mood disorder, I may be able to provide tools to support you in facilitating balance in mind, body and spirit. *Weight loss surgery is a specialty as I have been working in this field since 2001. I am certified in Telebehavioral Health and practice is HIPAA compliant.
I treat the whole person, all aspects. As a therapist I am empathetic, honest and have a knack for getting to the point quickly. I provide a safe environment conducive to self exploration, and you can be sure to receive feedback that is productive, honest, sensitive and constructive.
Individualized approach offers effective treatment which will draw upon your strengths, seek to enhance motivation, is collaborative and focused at increasing confidence in your your ability to adapt and meet objectives within your current circumstances. I am out of network with insurance, but should be reimbursable based upon your benefits.
