"Does hardship make us stronger?" Not while you're experiencing the problem! How about "What can I do differently next time!" I moved 27 times by the age of 13, so I learned how to meet people. There are better ways to learn social skills! I furnish a direct but gentle approach suited for clients seeking improved functioning in employment, school, relationships and family. Let me help you learn how to make good decisions and experience success. Let's stop the hardship!
The 26 years therapist experience I offer is targeted toward using cognitive- behavioral, solution focused, and strength based approaches to help you become your personal best. I provide an approach that includes you. I have conducted over 500 mental health and substance abuse assessments, written letters to schools and courts, and taught others.
If you or your child is required to participate in a substance abuse assessment following an infraction, I can also provide this service. I can provide treatment services for substance abuse and mental health issues.
