Have you been feeling discouraged, worried about the future, disconnected from others, or impacted by early experiences? For the past 20+ year I’ve learned that real change often starts when we pause, reflect, and begin asking different questions—sometimes the kind that don’t fit neatly inside the box. I work with adults, couples, and families who are navigating that familiar feeling of being stuck. My approach is creative, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I’m always learning and evolving, seeking the right balance between proven techniques and personalized care that actually fits your life.

When we understand the meaning we attach to events, we better understand our choices.

Addiction and its accompanying issues make life a struggle for both the client and for those who love them. Those in active addiction intuitively know there is a gap between the life they're demonstrating and the possibilities their potential affords - if they could only get out of their own way. My methods promote profound fundamental change: the shedding of self-destructive attributes, the definition of a clear, compelling vision for the future, and the tools clients need to implement strategies that will enable them to become the best possible version of themselves.
