I have years of experience working with addictions, depression, and teen issues.

I work with adolescent to adult aged clients who may be struggling with addiction and are struggling to overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
I spent years trapped in addiction—caught in a cycle of chronic relapse, depression, anxiety, and a deep loss of identity. Childhood trauma and fractured relationships left me feeling directionless, stripped of purpose, values, and self-worth. Recovery wasn’t just about sobriety—it was about rebuilding who I was from the ground up. Today, I use my lived experience to help others navigate their own healing with honesty, empathy, and hope.
Additionally, as a lifelong athlete and coach, I provide coaching and consulting services for athletes of all ages overcome performance barriers and rediscover a love for their sport

I specialize working with individual,child, adolescent, marriage, and family dynamics.
Being a psychotherapist for over 4 decades, I recognize the necessity to honor each client as an individual and to help that client to recognize and reveal true thoughts and feelings.

Timing and destiny are vitally important to reveal and recognize, but even more valuable is to know that our reaction to life's events can transform our world. Whether in the mind, emotions, or spirit all things are possible.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
