You may feel like your life has taken a left turn and you're having trouble getting back on the right path. Maybe there is past trauma, addiction, self-doubt, anger, depression or anxiety making this path hard for you to find. There is a quote from Paulo Coelho that I think sums up my approach: "Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." You have the power to make the necessary changes, and therapy is a great way to find this power within you.

My clinical expertise is addiction/substance abuse treatment (both user and impacted family members) as I've worked in both inpatient & outpatient settings. I am very familiar with 12-step recovery but it is not my only tool. I can provide evaluation/assessment and potential referral to rehab if needed. My style is hands on & solution-oriented -- my goal is that you leave our sessions feeling empowered, motivated and have more coping skills to manage your life. There is no reason why you should continue to suffer or struggle; you deserve to feel better & develop confidence in yourself.

I have worked in the behavioral health field with children and adolescents who were diagnosed from Autism Spectrum Disorder to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I used skills such as positive reinforcement, token economy, and play therapy to help improve the client's lives in different environments. I have worked with trauma clients who have been through various forms of abuse. I used trauma informed cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help reduce trauma symptoms and improve the clients quality of life.

We’re the right fit for people who feel like they’re carrying more than they can hold—but keep showing up anyway. Our clients are caring, capable, and exhausted by anxiety, grief, disconnection, or the pressure to have it all together. Some are navigating identity, family stress, or major transitions. Others just want to feel like themselves again. Whether they’re 5 or 65, single or partnered, they want real support from people who show up. They’re not looking for surface talk—they want honesty, depth, and a therapist who genuinely cares.

It is essential for the client to feel safe upon entering counseling and throughout their course of treatment. I have come to believe that treatment is about increasing one’s connection with the present, while seeking solutions, rather than being stuck in one’s past. My goal with any client is to work with them, so that they can feel part of the treatment process.

My ideal client is someone ready to embrace their story and transform it into their strength. They might be grappling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or the aftermath of trauma, feeling stuck and craving a deeper connection to themselves. Their greatest need is a safe space to explore these feelings, along with guidance to find balance in their lives. Ultimately, they want to feel empowered and free, discovering joy in mindful movement and intuitive eating. They’re seeking not just healing, but a way to thrive—because they deserve to live fully and authentically.
