Whether you're in recovery, struggling with addiction, coping with a loved one's addiction (such as being an Adult Child of an Alcoholic or from a dysfunctional family), managing codependency, dealing with anxiety or mood disorders, grieving a loss, or navigating life transitions like retirement or entering the workforce after college—I’m here to support you. I believe each person holds the key to their own mental and emotional well-being. Sometimes, we just need guidance to unlock it—especially during life’s more difficult moments. That’s where I come in. I invite you to contact me for a free consultation.
I specialize in working with individuals affected by addiction—either directly or through family history—as well as those with mood disorders, codependency or major life changes. My approach is positive, supportive, and comprehensive. Together, we’ll work toward lasting healing, personal growth, deeper self-understanding, and a broader perspective on life.
Clients often say they feel a sense of relief and clarity after just one session. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on building trust and exploring new perspectives. As we work together, you’ll develop tools to face challenges with confidence, and experience a growing sense of empowerment and freedom.

I often use IFS and EMDR in my practice. In your first session we can explore more about what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will take a look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience and learn how to make changes.
