Addiction is one of the most serious epidemics of our time. I specialize in treating individuals and families who are struggling with the pain of loving someone who suffers with the disease of addiction. For every person struggling with addiction, there are family members and friends affected, and they also face many challenges. Addiction, the resulting trauma and interpersonal conflicts can manifest in depression, anxiety and anger. With support, professional guidance and empathy, those grappling with these challenges can find the strength, hope and determination to create change and find new meaning in their lives.

It is inevitable that life brings its share of pain and suffering. Sometimes this pain and suffering can be overwhelming and prevent us from living a meaningful and happy life. We can start feeling despair, hopeless, or stuck. Trauma, loss, mental illness, and stressful life events are just some of the complicating factors. With over 25 years of experience working in the field of mental health and wellness, I can help you work through the challenges you face and lead you to a more fulfilling life. I offer both short-term and long-term models of psychotherapy for adults and youth of all ages and walks of life.

Starting therapy is a challenging decision as we typically feel that we should manage things on our own. However, you realize that your symptoms are worsening. It may be getting to the point that it's interfering with your performance at school/work. You are having more difficulties getting out of bed and/or you may be overwhelmed by everything going on. You start realizing that now you are avoiding things you used to do because it gives you temporary relief from your anxiety. I would like to help you explore the underlying causes and provide you with tools to enjoy the things that are important to you.
