“We’re all too vulnerable to face the hugeness of life alone. It doesn’t make sense to do that… we need each other” (Sue Johnson). I believe meaningful connection - with ourselves and others - is the foundation of wellbeing. Yet, painful experiences and unhelpful patterns often stand in the way. Relationship struggles can erode self-worth and leave us feeling anxious, stuck, or alone. They also ripple through other areas of life - our health, work, and family. You’re here because you’re seeking change. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space for your journey.

It is my belief, that regardless of the reason the individual has come to therapy - ultimately – everyone is searching for someone who can meet them where they are at, who can truly listen to them, and who can guide them in discovering their internal strength. I approach therapy with the understanding that each person has the capacity to heal, to grow, and for self-guidance. I endeavor to create a space where each client will be able to see themselves as separate from their distress and empowered to create the change they desire.

My practice consists of two main branches. The first branch consists of helping acting out teens and their family. The second branch consists of helping adults impacted by the many forms of addiction. Pain, shame, and trauma all contribute to the problems we experience in life. Connection to loved ones bring back feelings of love, empathy, caring, and self compassion, to name a few. A strong theraputic relationship can heal by bringing a person back to these missing feelings.

Trauma can leave an imprint on our lives, but it does not have to be permanent. It may alter your foundation and leave you lost, angry, confused and in unbearable pain. I believe that choosing to rebuild this foundation through therapy is a courageous step in healing. It is not always an easy journey as we need to survey the land, start digging, install the foundation and work with any arising obstacles. This can be an exhausting and scary process but we will work collaboratively at your pace and create a resolution that fits for you.
