Speak your heart, live your truth! Are you feeling overwhelmed with the direction of your life? Is your job not emotionally or financially satisfying? Do you find yourself having difficult, short-lived relationships, or worse - none at all? Is depression and/or anxiety wearing you down?
It is my experience that our difficulties and problems are primarily determined by reactions to how we think and feel. I can help you understand how your thoughts and feelings prevent you from getting what you want, and then help you find ways of creating more success in the areas you desire to change.

Change is possible and I believe that all individuals deserve the opportunity to create positive changes that will impact them throughout their lives. My role in the therapeutic process is to help clients explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are negatively impacting their lives and provide them skills to gain more control and build healthy and meaningful relationships. I strive to provide a creative and collaborative environment by which clients can reach their goals in a relatively short time.

I seek to help families, young adults and adults navigate recovery as it relates to substance abuse and mental health issues. If I could have an "ideal client", it would be someone that has never been to a residential facility before and to catch them before it gets to that point. Most often, the people I work with have some substance use history along with mental health issues. Fulfillment, time management, family relationships, communication, harm reduction, abstinence, stability, etc. are often topics that people I work with seek help for.

Our thoughts and behaviors serve a fundamentally positive purpose: protection. Essentially, I believe they have evolved to shield us from painful experiences and ultimately minimize the possibility of repetition. My approach to therapy is guided by this understanding and encompasses a warm and compassionate style so that you feel heard, comfortable, and understood, while still therapeutically challenging you to elicit internal motivation and change. Together, we will sort through what has brought you to treatment, and explore coping and self-esteem tools, so that you can carry your life story in a healthy and manageable way.

I see therapy as a partnership built on trust, compassion, and curiosity. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring whatever is present for you—whether that’s difficult emotions, patterns that hold you back, past experiences, or questions about who you are and what you want.
I work collaboratively with clients to uncover what may be hidden, challenge limiting beliefs, and open new perspectives. Engaging in this process can bring greater clarity, confidence, and peace, while helping you move toward a more authentic and grounded sense of self in both life and relationships.

When considering my patients, I try to take a holistic approach and assess from a bio/psycho/social/spiritual point-of-view. I believe assessing the whole patient is the best way to understand underlying problems/symptoms related to psychopathology. Most importantly, empathy, trust, a therapeutic alliance and rapport is of utmost concern; I want your therapy hour to be useful, beneficial, and enjoyable. Also, I am currently taking new patients.

Psychoanalytic therapy is often misrepresented in media, yet remains one of few treatments that meets the most hidden parts of self. Symptoms aren’t only sources of suffering, rather, communications of longing, conflict, grief & survival. They arise from a dormant personal history that is awakened by the professional receptive other—one who stays close without collapsing into advice, fixing, or haste. The weight of depression is displaced desire for expression & creativity. The alternative to anxiety is unactualized dreams. We move together effectively, truthfully, so trapped symptoms metabolize into meaning, agency and aliveness.

Medication Management Therapists
What are the most effective ways to manage medications?
One of the most effective ways a patient can manage their medications is to keep a list of each drug and dosage they take. Such a list can be helpful in keeping to their schedule and can also be something they bring to their psychiatrist or other physician so that the healthcare provider has a clear picture of what they’re taking and in what quantity. Using a pill organizer can be useful for memory and organization. Patients should discuss their medications and their effects at every appointment.
What are the risks if medications are not managed properly?
A suboptimal approach to medication management can lead to potentially harmful health outcomes. Most psychiatric drugs have side effects, and if a patient is not aware of them, they may seek additional medical help or over the counter or prescription drugs to treat the side effects, which may have its own side effects, a process called “prescription cascade.” Another risk to disorganization is that a psychiatrist without full knowledge of a patient’s regimen could prescribe a medication that should not be mixed with a patient’s existing drugs.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to get help managing their medications?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing medication management as a tool for improving their life and avoiding dangerous side effects. Offering specific examples of an individual’s failure to properly manage their medication regimen should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to break management down into parts, and there are several apps that can be used to organize which drugs are ingested, when they need to be refilled, and how they should be stored.
Are there natural treatments that can replace medications?
While there are many medications that can be vital to mental health, there are some natural lifestyle changes that can help reduce the need for drugs. Regular exercise, good sleep habits, a healthy diet, and therapy can all go a long way in symptom relief. Psychiatric medications typically treat symptoms but do not necessarily treat the cause of the condition. Many clinicians consider medications an adjunct to treatment rather than a treatment in and of itself.
