My personal and professional lived experiences have shaped my understanding of how to heal unhealthy attachments, substance use, trauma, and discover personal purpose.
When we are awakened by the desire to change, we may understand the what and why, but feel uncertain about the how. My belief is we are all seeking love: with ourselves, others, and life itself. Many of us carry wounds shaped by unhealthy experiences of love, and learning how to practice love in a healthy way can feel unfamiliar or even impossible. My mission is to create a world immersed in love, one safe experience at a time. Change happens as we gradually bridge the gap between our current and true selves. I believe in alignment, authenticity, and learning how to be our own mother or father by re-parenting our inner child.

I have worked closely with individuals struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, life stage transitions, parenting challenges and relationship issues.
You have always functioned well, but inside you feel anxious, stuck, unsure of what direction to take next. You may be navigating a major life transition, experiencing a crisis that feels unmanageable, questioning long-held beliefs, or noticing that old patterns no longer fit. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, it can be hard to feel grounded or clear about your next step. Therapy offers space to slow down, understand what’s shifting, and reconnect with what you want for yourself.

I enjoy working with individual clients who identify with anxiety, what-ifs and regrets, and feeling insecure in their relationships - either romantic or platonic. My clients are often challenged with rethinking conversations and interactions, which is utterly exhausting. They often find themselves fantasizing about the past when they felt less shame and regret – a time that felt lighter, filled with more joy and presence, and waking up feeling rested and ready for the day. It’s possible to return to those days. My clients often start therapy feeling frustrated, defeated and exhausted and leave sessions with clarity and hope.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
