Hello & Welcome! Echoing the wisdom of Gabor Mate, "Ask not why the addiction but why the pain," I view addiction as a complex disease entwined with deeper emotional struggles. My dedication lies in uncovering and healing the root causes of pain alongside each client. Through a personalized approach, we will work together towards healing, drawing upon an array of therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, CBT, and DBT.

Our work together will focus on behavioral change and increasing psychological flexibility toward the development of vitality and functioning in all personally meaningful areas of one’s life. I have come to believe that the quality of one’s life is directly related to the quality of one’s relationships and that self-awareness and development of our most authentic selves is the pathway to developing the best of both.
