Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them toward healthier decisions?
My own rough teen years sparked a 30+ year career as a school counselor, addiction clinician and parenting coach. I work from a “brief solution-focused” model, aiming to empower you with the knowledge, tools, skills and confidence desired as soon as possible. I won’t be the right fit for someone needing long-term, more intensive or crisis support.

Feeling stuck or torn about what comes next? Mixed feelings about change are normal. Part of you may want things to be different, while another part feels hesitant, uncertain, or overwhelmed. That kind of conflict isn't a sign that something is wrong with you - it's a normal part of being human.

My interest in psychotherapy began in young adulthood, when I experienced firsthand how a skilled, caring therapist can create real healing. With over 19 years of clinical experience, I help clients move through anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma using evidence‑based approaches like ACT, CBT, and Gestalt. I also specialize in developmental somatic psychotherapy, bringing gentle, present‑moment awareness to the body to support deep emotional change and lasting growth.
