I work with individuals and couples struggling with betrayal, broken trust, and emotional distance. Many of the clients I work with are also navigating substance use or recovery. Together, we focus on healing relational wounds, rebuilding safety, and creating honest, meaningful connection.

Have you felt disconnected from yourself? Have you had moments where you take things for granted and don't appreciate what is happening in the present? Most times, with our busy daily lives, we don't take the time to check in with ourselves physically, mentally, or emotionally. Being more mindful and aware of how our mind and body interact and influence each other, can help reduce anxiety, depression symptoms, improve mood and give us a better understanding of not only ourselves but have the ability to appreciate the world around us through a more positive lens. My approach is cognitive-based while also using mindfulness techniques.

You are not a problem to be solved, rather, you're a person to be understood. You've been through some difficult and painful experiences in your life. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by anxiety - even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere, and you don’t understand what triggered it or how to make yourself feel better.
