Many of the clients I work with are used to pushing through. They look fine on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, emotionally shut down, or stuck in patterns that never seem to change. Others find themselves relying on alcohol or other coping strategies that no longer work the way they used to. If you've tried to manage things on your own, gone to therapy before, or understand your problems but still feel stuck, you're not alone. My goal is to help you identify and address what's keeping those patterns in place so real change becomes possible.
I'm a trauma-focused EMDR therapist working with adults, adolescents, and couples. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, substance use, and relationship challenges. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, I help clients address the underlying experiences and beliefs that continue to drive emotional distress, unhealthy coping, and disconnection.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in a high-pressure corporate environment and later worked in addiction treatment. I understand what it's like when willpower and coping skills stop being enough. If you're ready for therapy with clear direction and meaningful movement, I'd be honored to help you take the next step. Contact me for a free consultation

I help with trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, emotional shutdown, substance use and the impact of addiction on relationships. Treatment involves using EMDR and Brainspotting to process unresolved experiences so past issues stop driving current reactions and choices.

Nick is the kind of person you could share anything with. Not only because he won't judge you, but also because its his nature to be empathetic and kind. I'm proud to know him, and witness the care and integrity he brings to his practice. Highly recommend!

Sessions are active and focused on change. We work on processing unresolved experiences so reactions are less automatic and patterns no longer drive behavior. This approach is designed to create real shifts, not just insight or short-term coping.
