I warmly welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds and have helped many overcome substance use disorders, addictions, and process addictions—including pornography, gambling, and more. These challenges are often rooted in trauma and frequently show up as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or other difficulties. I’m here to walk beside you with compassion and expertise, creating a safe space where we can gently unpack what’s holding you back and build the tools for real, lasting healing and freedom.
Therapies can include: CBT, REBT, DBT, Choice Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt, and Biblical Therapies to assist with any number of personal and individual or family needs. Each individual client gets individualized care and therapy. No two clients are the same and should not be treated the same.
Contact me if you are having issues relating to other people, having emotional difficulties, or not making it where you want to. You deserve more than you think. We can get there together. I have been in practice since 2014. It is up to you to start the change, so how should we start?
