Therapists in 20147
Individuals I work with want a therapist that actually helps them make the changes they want to make. They are facing concerns like academic or behavior concerns, struggling with transitioning to adulthood, mood instability and trauma. What makes me unique is I practice harm reduction psychotherapy and alcohol moderation. I work with substance and process addictions (video games, screens, pornography). Not everyone in treatment needs an abstinence only model. I practice harm reduction psychotherapy and alcohol moderation to help individuals change their relationship with substances.

Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Maybe you feel like you've lost your way. Often those unhealthy coping patterns that develop as a survival mechanism to help us manage anxiety and worry, and comparison and self-doubt, leave us feeling stuck, burnt out, and disconnected from who we really are.

You know exactly what other people think—but struggle to tune into your own thoughts and make choices that reflect who you are. You “play it safe” in relationships or keep people at arm’s length. You find yourself caught in the same frustrating cycles with people you care about. Come think about where you are stuck with me! I use Bowen Theory to help people zoom out and see the bigger picture. This approach is a way of understanding how we’re shaped by the families and systems we’re part of—and how we can change the patterns by thinking more clearly and acting more deliberately.
