You’ve been through a lot—trauma, addiction, family chaos, or just years of keeping it all together while unraveling underneath. Maybe you’re a first responder, a parent, a high achiever, or someone who’s done enough surface-level work to know it doesn’t stick. You want truth over platitudes, depth over coping skills, and a therapist who can handle whatever you bring into the room. You want lasting change, not just symptom management. You’re not looking for a savior—you’re looking for a real, grounded ally. That’s what I offer.
I specialize in trauma, addiction, and complex emotional struggles. With nearly 30 years of experience, I provide direct, compassionate therapy for adults and adolescents. I also offer independent substance use evaluations and expert witness testimony for family court cases.
This work isn’t easy, but it can be life-changing. If you’re tired of surface-level talk and ready for something real, I’ll meet you there—with respect, clarity, and honesty. You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. Reach out when you’re ready.
