I am a licensed professional counselor specializing in mental health, relationships, and addiction recovery. I collaborate with young adults, couples, and families to move beyond seeming impasses and engage fulfilled and connected lives. My approach includes identifying the message behind uncomfortable emotions and problematic behaviors, disconnecting from unhelpful thoughts and self-judgements, and exploring alternative perspectives through use of relatable (and often humorous) analogies.
Because mental and physical health are interrelated, I like to integrate helpful insights from my passions for fitness, nutrition, and outdoor recreation with family and friends.
But we won’t just marinate in thoughts and feelings. We will build on past successes and personal strengths; align daily activities with core values; and practice personalized coping, communication, and boundary-setting skills. Together, we will discover the fullest potential of your ideal self, relationships, and life.
