You never imagined yourself in this position, and it is difficult to know where to turn and who can help. Trauma, addiction, divorce, blended family, and relationship dynamics impact everyone differently. You may be experiencing feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted, questioning yourself, and losing direction. Together, we’ll focus on your overall well-being, not just the problems you bring to the table. Your experience and needs are unique, and your treatment should be individualized just for you.

My training includes advanced modalities in EMDR, Sex Therapy, DBT, and Addiction. My expertise provides you with the treatment you deserve to address the concerns you are seeking support for. My aim for you is that each session will be valuable and purposeful.

Making the decision to talk to someone can be difficult, and finding someone to talk to can be even harder. My website has a lot of additional information, which you may find helpful. Please call or email today to set up a free consultation.
