Have you been feeling less than content? Maybe you are overwhelmed with everyday tasks. Perhaps life has thrown you more crap than usual? Whether it's addiction, relationship problems, existential dread or something else, you just want to feel better!
I've been a therapist and addictions counselor for over 15 years. In that time I've helped many people from all walks of life to find their answers. I have specialized training in several different treatment approaches (ART, DBT, CBT, EMDR). Lots of letters that just mean we have options to create the best plan forward for you.
We all go through hard times and sometimes we just can't figure it out on our own. I'll offer a safe space for you to sift through it all and find relief. I won’t sugar coat it, but you will feel heard and understood. Everyone deserves happiness. Let's get you going on your path to it!
