Each of us brings unique experiences and knowledge to the present moment. My goal is to understand you as an individual and support you in building a meaningful life. Together, we'll explore how your identity interacts with your environment to find effective ways to reach your goals. My style is warm and authentic – it’s important that you know you are being heard and seen by another person who genuinely cares. I provide a non-judgmental space that is safe for you to explore your own thoughts, actions and emotions. Safe doesn’t always mean comfortable, so at times I may challenge you to embrace the discomfort so you can grow.

As therapists, we work to build a genuine relationship with each client, create a safe space for discovery, and aim to understand that individual. This allows clients to safely explore alongside the therapist, and begin to see themselves with greater clarity, depth, and honesty. Good, effective therapy will likely not happen overnight (though exciting and wonderful eureka moments certainly occur along the way), and trust, honesty, and humor are invaluable to a beneficial therapeutic relationship. We believe that laughter and tears are equally powerful but that therapeutic change is measured in neither.

We all experience moments where our emotions may feel overwhelming, managing stress becomes more challenging, and we may even find ourselves feeling stuck as to what comes next. Throughout my work with adults, teens, and children, I have seen how psychotherapy has improved their moods, relationships, and self-confidence, leaving them feeling more connected and satisfied in their daily lives. Therapy is a space where you can begin to explore yourself, while doing so within a relationship that is validating, supportive, and centers your goals and needs.

Clients often find me when they feel that traditional talk therapy doesn't seem to be enough - when they have gained lots of valuable insight into the "why" behind their experience, but the physiological symptoms persist. Intellectualy understanding our past traumas is different from healing, integrating, and organizing our past (and present) traumatic experiences. Clients who come to me are often engaged in an ongoing battle with their own nervous system responses, and often feel stuck in adaptive patterns without knowing how to break free.

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.
