Sanctuary Psychotherapy and Wellness, LLC was formed out of my passion to provide just what the definition of the word Sanctuary implies: a place of refuge and/or safety. I have worked in the addictions and behavioral health field since 2005. I am a dually licensed therapist; I am an Independently Licensed Mental Health Therapist and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am an EMDR therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy including body mind and spirit. I encourage clients to think of their mental health as just as important as physical health. It’s all connected! My philosophy about therapy is that everyone is capable of making change. Everyone has dignity and worth. I favor a person-centered approach to include warmth and non-judgmental acceptance; I believe it is important to meet people wherever they are (emotionally and situationally) and work from there. I believe that you are the expert on you! I work in collaboration with you to determine your treatment plan and interventions. I see my role as a helper; a person to provide guidance and support on your path to help facilitate the positive outcomes you may be seeking, one step at a time.
