Life can often feel overwhelming and unmanageable at times. And when it does, you do not need to navigate it alone. I’m here to assist you in moving away from maladaptive patterns of behavior that seem to interfere with your quality of life and develop new patterns of behavior that feel more meaningful and aligned with your values. Together, we can increase awareness, uncover strengths, and empower resilience.

If you're struggling with painful thoughts and feelings or a challenging life event, it's important that you feel understood and supported. It is crucial to find a safe place to work on these issues where you will not be judged. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 13 years of experience assisting people suffering from anxiety, depression, history of trauma, postpartum adjustment, chronic stress, dysfunctional environments, grief and loss. It can be important to explore historical life events, and my approach also consists of skill-building and learning coping skills for the present.

Most people who work with me begin when painful experiences of anxiety and depression interfere with their ability to find enjoyment and satisfaction in relationships and professionally. Psychotherapy with me usually begins with a discussion of the concerns, problems, and distress from which you are suffering and for which you seek relief. The goal of this work is to solve the problems, alleviate the distress, and place the concerns in the context of your personal development. Results of this effort often include increased self-awareness, enhanced self-esteem, recognition of unique strengths and potentials, and more positive feelings.

As one of the first in-home addiction treatment providers in the country, we are an excellent fit for those struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress who want to remain engaged in positive forces in their lives (work, family) while they recover. Our clients also value the privacy and convenience that our treatment program offers. Of course, there should not be a one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment, as you have unique needs and goals. To that end, our clients have a dedicated team of addiction professionals to provide psychiatry, medication, and counseling services as appropriate, over the course of an entire year. Not only are we able to more precisely tailor your recovery program than other addiction treatment providers, but we also help you learn and practice coping skills in the environment in which your sobriety will be tested.

You spend a substantial amount of time pretending to have it all figured out, but inside you struggle with feeling flawed, unusual, or broken, and you imagine that no one around you can really understand what this feels like. It might look like despising the body that you exist in and feeling like your only option is to change it. It might look like feeling like your insecurities are crushing you, and impacting how you interact with others. It might look like struggling after hearing your partner had an affair, not knowing how you will emotionally recover. You want a therapist who can hold your hand and remind you of your own light.
