We all have our ups and downs in life and sometimes life can feel really harsh when we least expect it. Thoughts and memories from your past may be intruding in your current life.

I work collaboratively with individuals, drawing on techniques, like EMDR and sand tray, to assist you in moving beyond the symptoms of your struggles to uncover the underlying causes of “stuckness” or suffering.

Therapy is not an easy decision, but with me as your therapist, I will encourage you to move past the fear in hopes of finding better overall mental health.

My goal is to help others view themselves through a different perspective, gain insight into their situation, and learn effective coping skills that could be contributing to their substance use. I believe that we all have a story to tell that has been influenced by our life experiences.

Dealing with substance abuse can have a similar effect and it can be difficult to break the cycle without any help. These obstacles can limit us from achieving our full potential.

As a therapist, I believe my primary responsibility is to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere within which clients can freely explore areas of their lives and selves which have not been working well.

At at the same time, I work to help clients develop realistic and healthy alternatives to old habits which are interfering with their abilities to become the individuals they are meant to be and to achieve the goals they have set for their lives.

My number one goals is to create a collaborative, culturally-sensitive and compassionate space in which i offer personally-tailored interventions for your set of circumstances, while working with you to identify and utilize your own strengths to bring about positive change in your life.
