Life is sometimes challenging, therapy shouldn’t be. I am a mental health counselor who is interested in providing counseling and coaching to individuals in times of challenge be it emotional, social, mental, financial, or spiritual.

I am a warm, straightforward therapist focused on providing effective treatment. I work to connect genuinely with each of my patients because I believe the first component of effective treatment is the formation of a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. With this relationship as the foundation, we can then collaboratively determine your goals and take measurable steps to achieving the change you want in your life.

Overcoming an addiction is difficult even for the strongest of people. It is important to remember that addiction is a disease of the brain. Addiction is not a moral failing. You are not a bad or flawed person. However, the reality of most diseases, including addiction, is that they require ongoing care to manage. Being in recovery is a lifelong commitment that will not always come easy. Getting sober, or stopping the use of drugs and alcohol, is only the first step to sober living. Sober living requires making some lifestyle changes that promote personal growth and long term sobriety. I can help you start your journey.
