"Maybe you've reached a breaking point. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or alone -- even ashamed at the thought of burdening others as you encounter old patterns & new problems alike. Perhaps you're skeptical about therapy or believe your problems aren't legitimate. You may have concrete issues you wish to tackle, or maybe you'd like to prioritize your well being with more open-ended exploration. Whether your emotional pain is recent or distant, all of these thoughts and feelings are welcome when we sit down together. I also provide psych testing for: ADHD, pre-adoption, pre-surgical evaluations (Bariatric, Transplant, SCS). "

"If you or someone you love are having problems related to alcohol or drug use, there is hope and a way out. It is most useful to meet with someone who truly understands addiction and can provide a true assessment. I will work with you, your family and any other healthcare providers to develop a plan of action based on your needs. Often times the road to recovery starts with meeting someone who listens to understand, meets you with genuine care and concern and can provide useful recommendations. Chemical dependency is a primary illness not a secondary mental health issue; trust a counselor who entered this specialty field."

"Are you someone who struggles mentally and emotionally to identify with day to day life choices and expectations? Are you finding that you question your motivation and purpose?

We all face struggles with achieving our goals, understanding and overcoming life experiences, or resolving conflicts with others. It can be extremely helpful to have a compassionate, unbiased, and supportive person to talk to when these issues arise. "

"Are you tired of talking around in circles with your current therapist? Or maybe you can’t imagine what “talking about the problem” could possibly accomplish? And yet, there are things in your life that you can’t seem to get a grip on despite everything you've tried. That’s where I come in. I’m not interested in endless problem talk or giving you cliche advice. I’ll never tell you to “just think positive," “look on the bright side,” or to simply exchange your negative thoughts for positive ones. If you’ve exhausted all your solutions, you need a radical shift—not just in thinking or feeling, but being. "
