"The majority of my clients are working with their issues surrounding alcohol/drug abuse/dependency and co-occurring mental health issues, predominately depression and anxiety. The commonality these clients possess is the recognition/need to terminate their alcohol and/or drug consumption and address their mental health issues responsible for the distress they are currently experiencing. Honesty, open mindedness, and an unfettered willingness for inquiry are ideal client characteristics; these help develop the atmosphere of trust, so vital in the therapeutic relationship."

"My passion is working with clients who feel unsettled and anxious yet crave peace, and are willing to go on a truth seeking mission to find it. My purpose is to help clients reclaim themselves; to put themselves as a priority and engage in self care. Clients find me when going through periods of reinvention, transition or when they are craving an authentic life. I work with clients who want to break through the myth of perfection and also those who are striving to find their voice. I believe the therapeutic process is about losing what is no longer needed rather than changing perceived flaws."

"I recognize that persons who are suffering often feel most alone precisely when interpersonal support is most necessary. It is my desire, as a psychologist, to accompany you through periods of suffering to the best of my ability.

It is my goal to provide support and guidance, so that you are not alone as you face relational upheaval, depression, anxiety, or fear. Hopefully this, "being with," will bring consolation, and eventually lead you toward peace and greater personal growth."
