I've worked with teens & their families for more than 20 years. Currently, within my practice, I see individuals from 18 years on. I use an eclectic approach built on developing the therapist-client relationship first and moving forward from there. Particular areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, & gender identity. The work is informed from a mindfulness stance, cultivating strength through gaining an understanding of how the mind/body/heart influence feelings and behaviors. Hypnosis also allows for a deeper exploration and gut-level understanding of the past's influence on the present, allowing for release

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.
