I am experienced working with people who are struggling with addiction, anxiety, stress, and adjustment challenges. This includes issues such as gambling, substance use, porn use, technology overuse, and difficulties with life transitions. The clients I work with present with a need to better understand their experiences, develop effective strategies for managing stressors, and foster self-compassion. Their goals frequently involve breaking free from unhelpful patterns, enhancing resilience, improving interpersonal relationships, and aligning their behaviors with their core values, striving towards more purpose in life.

With over a decade of experience, I bring expertise in working with individuals facing addiction, anxiety, and life transitions. I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your challenges, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Together, we will work toward your goals and living closer to your values.

I’m here to provide a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and supported. Change isn’t always easy, but together, we can navigate your challenges and work toward a life that feels more fulfilling and true to who you are. If you’re ready to take that step, I’d be grateful to walk alongside you on your journey.
