Hello and welcome to my restorative psychotherapy practice dedicated to helping you become your very best self. I understand that life can be difficult. We all struggle at one point or another in our journey. We all experience loss and grief. We can all lose our sense of who we are, experience uncertainty about our purpose in life or struggle with challenges within our social, family and work relationships. We and our loved ones may struggle with addiction, divorce, trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and a sense of helplessness.

Are you hindered by anxiety, depression, or trauma, preventing you from expressing your authentic self? Do you find yourself trapped in navigating challenging family and relationship situations? Every minor issue now feels incredibly overwhelming, reopening past wounds and creating new ones. Despite attempting to bury the pain, it persists, leaving you feeling isolated and tormented. The constant exhaustion, stress, and anger make you question your resilience. Unsure of where to seek assistance, you don't have to endure this painful journey by yourself. I aim to assist you in achieving a more integrated and balanced sense of self.

I traditionally work with stressed teens, men that have trouble identifying their emotional difficulties, women that feel under appreciated, LGBT persons, and couples struggling with intimacy issues. I have a contemplative and humanistic approach to therapy that stresses the inherent value and worth of every person. How we come to understand our sense of self worth can be elaborated with sociological, anthropological, and various academic lenses, but at the end of the day, your experience of your life is what I am interested in.

After over 15 years battling addiction and experiencing trauma, seeking relief from my own pain, I found a new way of life. Leaving the corporate world, I set on a path of service, connecting to individuals and families seeking healing of their own. Over the last two and a half decades on both sides, I gained invaluable experience working with several organizations in admissions, case management, counseling, aftercare and intervention as well as volunteering time whenever possible. Recovery is about finding healing for the individual and family while learning to communicate in a new way.

Looks like you have reached the tipping point! Whatever has you searching for help, you're already creating change simply by being here. Sometimes all you need is to learn and practice more effective ways of communicating. Sometimes it's an issue of healing from catastrophic wounds, but it's often a complex and intricate combination of things. Regardless of the reason(s), you wouldn't be searching if you didn't already know you may benefit from personal therapy. I firmly believe that most human suffering is learned, and anything that has been learned can be unlearned with the right support.

Struggling with addiction & feel rehab isn’t an option? Want to adjust your relationship with a substance instead of being told you must quit? Leaving your family, job, school or responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy & on track.

You may have tried cutting back or stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful pattern. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.
