Specialties: Palliative care (comfort care) for individuals and families coping with terminal illnesses. Bereavement/grief issues due to expected and unexpected losses. Loss due to suicide, drug overdose, and accidental deaths. Post traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, panic and anxiety disorders and anger management. Adult patients. It is essential for people to feel they are able to manage their emotions and their emotions are not controlling their lives. I'm bad, I'm weak, there is something wrong with me, are mistaken ideas people have when they are suffering emotional pain.

There is often shame and fear when individuals feel they need or are told to get help. It is no different to seek counseling for emotional pain than to call the doctor when one breaks a leg or has the flu. I have experience helping people get back in their drivers seat regarding their emotions.

When people are confused or suffering with emotional pain they are particularly vulnerable to fear, anger, and helplessness. This is often accompanied by a sense of purposelessness and not caring about much. As a therapist, I provide education, support, and comfort to maintain and improve functioning as well as maintain a person's sense of feeling normal.
