Have you ever said “ I will never drink again” only to find yourself drinking again? Do you find yourself hiding bottles? Going to different stores each day to buy alcohol? Does your drinking cause shame and guilt? Are you feeling isolated, alone, misunderstood? Are you stuck in the same patterns of behavior? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. Together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome your challenges.

Reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Take full advantage the natural environment. Gain skills to anchor yourself in self-awareness, discovery, and growth. Learn tangible, practical skills for goal development and incorporation, and accountability. It makes total sense that you are experiencing overwhelm and feel stuck. Intentional group discussions and experiences can help you build healthy pro-social skills. Maybe you're coming back from a wilderness program, or you have participated in traditional intensive outpatient programs already. Maybe you are better served to learn healthy life skills in a more dynamic setting.

Success is often best achieved in a relaxed, comfortable, safe environment with a knowledgeable and caring therapist. Are you seeking a secure, trusting, and non-judgmental space to address issues of alcohol/drug addiction and recovery, life's challenges and transitions, depression, shame, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, self-criticism, inner wholeness, and growth?

I help people who are at pivotal points in life. Times where things have suddenly changed on a dime or you know it's unsustainable to continue as things are. I specialize in working with people or loved ones of those who have experienced major medical injuries (stroke, neurological conditions, spinal cord injury, cardiac surgeries), people in all stages of recovery from substances, and anxiety.

Okay, so I'm thinking if you're here looking for a therapist, maybe you feel like your life has become a complete shit show. Or maybe you're just so sick and tired of the same old, same old, but you don't know how to stop or change it. Or maybe you feel frozen in time by the trauma you experienced in your life. Maybe you feel so stuck that any sort of hopeful, positive, and rewarding future is completely out of your reach. OR maybe it's something else like the inability to manage your emotions, or stop using, or push past the storm or grief.

There’s so much pressure to be a certain way in the world. Your anger, heartache, and the behaviors you’re embarrassed of are all welcome here. If you’re suffering, you don’t have to do it alone. As someone who has been impacted by a loved one’s addiction, I care deeply for individuals who use substances to cope and the people in relation to them. I also work with individuals encountering relationship difficulties and life transitions.

Not all therapists are alike and choosing one can be a challenge. Therapists practice in all sorts of ways and use all sorts of methods. I offer talk therapy. It’s just like it sounds. You talk and I listen to you. Essentially, our objective is to study your mind. On your own terms and at your own pace, you offer the study material. I am interested to know what makes you who you are. Hopefully you are interested in that too and if so, we are already on the same wavelength.

Our clinician-founded and operated recovery center offers a mindfulness-based, comprehensive, evidence based, and integrative approach to recovery. We give you the individual attention you deserve; you are truly seen and heard on an individual level. When it comes to addiction treatment we strongly believe in the value of quality over quantity. Therefore we have intentionally created our program to be a small, client focused program treating only 16 individuals at a time. We offer Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient levels of care.

Life not working for you? Are you dealing with issues that are causing emotional pain and suffering in your life? I can help you!

My practice includes EMDR and Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS): This provides direct treatment to unblock suppression in the brain's bio-electrical system. This is brief and non-invasive.

Even the most self-aware humans can experience periods of confusion, stuckness, and destabilization, and oftentimes suffering has unconscious roots. I've dedicated my training and education as a helping professional to learn how to unlock messages from the unconscious to promote healing and well-being. I also strive to arm my clients with concrete tools to use independently, long after our work together is completed. I have many years of experience helping people heal, blending a variety of nontraditional and expressive therapeutic approaches with evidence-based interventions to meet the individual needs of the people I serve.

Are you struggling with a difficult situation or feeling stuck? Is there something missing from your life? Are you lacking fulfillment or a sense of purpose? I offer a supportive, collaborative environment in which we can explore those areas that have kept you from feeling fulfilled and seek ways to create a more meaningful and satisfying life.

I offer mindfulness-based therapy with specializations in men's issues, depression and anxiety management and personal growth. Through this work in therapy, you can be kinder to yourself, which will help you in relating to others. You will notice that you are able to be more present, more intentional, and have more confidence in approaching your goals.

Sometimes we feel stuck. We’ve tried on our own to heal, grow, and learn but we still find ourselves in the same patterns that have led to a continuous cycle of confusion, shame, and hopelessness. You are not alone. If you have found yourself questioning your worth, your relationships, or your identity, I am here to help. Most of us know, logically, that hardship, distress, and unwanted emotions are a part of life. But sometimes we were not given the correct tools to manage these difficult experiences. Together, I believe we can connect back to your authentic self so that you can lead the life you want.

For all of us, there are times when we seek a new direction, a way forward, a fresh possibility for living. Are you feeling stuck or wanting to improve some aspect of your life or yourself? Are you using substances to cope with mental health issues such mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, stress and life transitions? If you’re here, you know things aren’t okay and life feels unmanageable. Substance use and/or mental health disorders can hijack your life. I can help you get back into the driver’s seat. I can help you feel more empowered to access your innate inner strengths, and reach your fullest recovery potential.

My approach is rooted in the experience and belief that we have the answers within. I want my clients to not only survive addiction, eating disorders, and anxiety, but to thrive and love their life. My clients are often incredibly intelligent, creative, and driven. I have seen my clients accomplish amazing things when they get clear on their goals and apply their gifts toward a fulfilling life. My goal is to help you get beneath the layers of labels and get down to your core. Much of our work focuses on aligning your decisions and actions with your own truth.

I have been in the other seat and done the important work of healing and I feel so honored and grateful every day to partner with others on their own path to healing. My approach to counseling is gentle, encouraging and nurturing, although I can be direct when it is helpful. My support is unconditional and without judgement.
