My therapy experience includes: addiction counseling, PTSD treatment, same sex couples, families, teens and children aged 5 to 17. Also I have facilitated groups with the following issues: Anger Management, Parenting, Domestic Violence, sexual trauma survivors, various mental health disorders and health issues. My own experiences have shaped me into the compassionate, caring therapist I am today. From growing up in an alcoholic family, to two adult children that are multicultural, & one in same sex relationship. I experienced two long term marriages, lost two sons; one at birth & an accident took the other. Most recently I have survived breast cancer.
