Bicycle Health exists to treat all patients with opioid use disorder. Many people who have been taking opioids can become dependent on these substances, and opioids can start to take control of their life. They have cravings, think about opioids all the time, and are unable to fulfill their daily responsibilities, like going to work or taking care of friends and family. It becomes an “all consuming disease”. Anyone struggling with opioid use disorder who is seeking convenient, discreet, non-judgmental treatment may be a good fit for Bicycle Health.

Having had a prolific 25-year career in the entertainment industry, I can personally understand what contributes to depression, anxiety, and a compromised self-esteem. Through talk therapy, a perception shift and changing the narrative we tell ourselves, I believe we are all capable of having the life we deserve. We don't have to be defined by our past, our fears or that negative self talk. My approach to therapy is one of complete honesty, directness and a little sarcasm/humor when appropriate. I believe we are all capable of having the life we want, getting out of our own way, and getting closer to our goals.

My specialities are Trauma, addiction , family therapy, and mindfulness training. In addition I am certified in EMDR and am Board certified in Neurofeedback.

New insights & experiences foster transformation, yet human beings tend to engage in predictable behavior that is familiar to them.

At the end of our time together, it is my hope that you will feel stronger, more grounded, with a deeper understanding of yourself, valuing your mind, body, & spirit.

There is great power in bringing together the conscious and subconscious; action and compassion.

I consider it a privilege and an honor to work with people who want to find balance in their lives. People come into therapy seeking help for a variety of problems.

Struggling with addiction . Survivor of trauma. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to manage on your own?
