Most people who end up in my office have already tried the version of therapy where you talk about your feelings for fifty minutes and leave with a worksheet. That’s not what happens here. I work directly with adults facing substance use, anxiety, and the kind of life transitions that don’t come with instructions, and I bring real tools to the table, not just questions.
I help navigate the challenges of anxiety, substance use, relationship struggles, and life transitions through practical, compassionate therapy. My approach is direct, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs without judgment or cookie-cutter solutions.
If you’ve been burned by therapy that felt hollow or corporate, or you’re looking for someone with genuine depth in substance use and evaluation work rather than someone who dabbles in it, that’s the work I do. Therapy should feel like progress, not homework. Let’s figure out what actually works for you.
