We could all use extra support sometimes. We'll engage in a thorough exploration of your unique situation, uncovering the underlying patterns and triggers. Initial symptom relief typically evolves into long-term healing and growth. My specialties include addiction, recovery, and codependence (substance dependency often permeate crucial aspects of life, from self-worth and personal relationships to family dynamics.) Relationship challenges (conflict resolution, dating, attachment wounds, divorce); grief and loss. I also work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues & offer psychoeducation in developing emotion regulation skills.
Clients often describe me as accepting and attuned, while also feeling supported to step outside their comfort zone in ways that promote meaningful growth and change. I combine evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, psychodynamic, and relational therapy with advanced training in Buddhist psychology, somatic therapies, parts work, and Gestalt techniques.
My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space, explore life’s challenges together, navigate uncertainty to build a deeper sense of freedom. I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss how we might work together to achieve your therapeutic goals.
