Are you troubled and stressed in a relationship, but don't know how to change things? Do you say yes when you want to say no? Are you covering up your pain with destructive behaviors? Do you judge yourself harshly and feel you are just never good enough? Negative thoughts, anxiety and low self esteem can be an enormous burden, making it a crushing chore to just get through the day. They affect your relationships, your ability to work, and can lead to substance abuse, over-eating and other behaviors that can pull you into a downward spiral.

I believe everyone deserves to be seen and heard for who they truly are. Sometimes, due to life experiences and events, we lose track of who we are. We are left feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, sad, lost, angry, and not ourselves. Let's work together and explore all the possibilities your life has to offer you.

As a counselor, I focus on solution based and non-judgmental cognitive therapy. I believe understanding a problem is not the end of the work, but it helps.

Addiction is a debilitating and progressive disorder that can effect anyone. If not addressed, addiction will eventually impact life in all areas, including loved ones. I specialize in treating addictive disorders of every type (including behavioral) and every stage of progression, as well as co-occurring disorders, and working with couples. I have worked with individuals needing early intervention to those needing support in maintaining their recovery, as well as those in between. I believe strongly in the benefit of incorporating family and loved ones into treatment whenever possible and appropriate.

If you are here today because you are contemplating taking the first step toward prioritizing yourself, I applaud you. You are halfway there and the first step is always the hardest.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious all the time. It’s leaving you sad, unmotivated, without any energy, and it is sapping all the confidence out of you. And you’re going crazy from all the overthinking about your problems the whole day. Maybe some even think you are confident and successful, but you know that deep down you are insecure, indecisive, and feel like an imposter and if people knew you, you doubt that they would still like you or respect you. It seems like the difficulties in your life and past traumas have overtaken you and are holding you back.

As a Queer/LGBTQ individual who has worked extensively within my community, I have learned that everyone has their own idea of what it means to suffer, but we need not approach it alone nor without help. First and foremost, I believe that individual needs and each relationship is unique; this informs the work I do with clients. If you are not feeling seen or heard in your relationships with others, be they romantic or otherwise, we can work together to build the needed skills for you or you and your partner to better navigate needs.
