Mental Health Counseling and Substance Abuse Treatment

Hi there and welcome! With the opening of my private practice soon approaching (February 1, 2018) I wanted a place where I can share a bit about the services I offer; provide information about resources of which our community may not be aware; and maybe even provide support, increase knowledge and reduce stigma about mental health and substance abuse issues. Where else other than Facebook?! I hope you will leave this site feeling more informed than when you arrived. As you know, our rural area has very limited resources so please, engage in discussions and feel free to ask questions. Just keep in mind that actual therapy will not occur on this page and what you post is public.

As a licensed professional counselor, I have helped children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate issues such as depression, anxiety, excessive stress and worrying, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, addiction, being the child or loved one of a person with addiction, codependency, relationship stress, parenting struggles, blending families, ADHD, oppositional defiance, adjustment problems, stage of life changes, and more. I consider it a great privilege to be invited into another’s most personal life and I have the utmost respect for anyone who walks through the doors of the counseling office asking for help. Honestly facing ourselves and others sometimes takes great courage.

Believe me, I know.

Life has provided me many opportunities, one of those being to engage in the journey of my own recovery. As loved ones of people with addiction, we can become as sick as the addicted person. I consider this sickness an opportunity because I have arrived at the other side of it having learned how to maintain my own serenity better than ever before, no matter what is or isn’t occurring around me. That’s pretty useful stuff. And life-changing.
