I have experience in the following areas: managing and counseling within an employee assistance program, consulting with management on employee concerns, counseling patients in a multidisciplinary pain management clinic, case management for chronic medical issues, and counseling older adults and their families on aging and caregiving concerns. You know you want to feel better, but you might feel lost or stuck or don't know where or how to begin. Together, we can explore the solutions that are best for your unique life, as you are the captain of your ship - I am here to help you steer it towards a course and path you desire. The folks who come to see me are often struggling with depression, anxiety, work/life balance, and adjustment to new phases of life (e.g. parenting, family caregiving, retirement). I have also had specialized experience working with chronic pain, illness, disabilities, and other medical issues, and geriatrics. It's important for me to help you feel as comfortable as possible… most folks leave from their first session with me feeling like they made a good decision to get started on the path to healing. Just so you know, I love to laugh, and it's not unusal to hear belly laughs coming from many who spend some time in my office.
