Anxiety can cause distressing bodily sensations and worry thoughts. It can prevent you from living life to the fullest, as you avoid situations and fear the worst. The “what if” thoughts and worse case scenarios occupy your mind, making it difficult to focus. Feeling overwhelmed and unable to focus or relax. Perfectionism leaves you constantly disappointed. Would you like to manage anxiety, rather than it managing you? Learn to live in the present and take the necessary risks for growth. Increase your tolerance of uncertainty, bodily sensations, and acceptance of the unknown. Expand your ability to cope with distress.

When you (or your family member) are trapped within the jaws of addiction, the hope of escape and recovery seems absolutely impossible. Sometimes you are tempted to just "throw in the towel" and surrender to the thought that you are destined to be an "addict" for the rest of your life--that you just don't have what it takes to change. But based on my own personal background, years of hands-on experience, and education, I can assure you that this defeatist feeling is wrong, albeit understandable.

A person centered, strengths based approach to helping you discover a healthier emotional life is what guides my practice.

I recognize that people benefit from being heard and validated. This becomes the basis of a supportive therapeutic relationship allowing for gentle, supportive challenges to change. This may include EMDR. I want to be able to meet you where you're at, helping you change your life in the way you feel would benefit you.

Having worked in the field of Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency and treatment for over 35 years, I lived through the disease of addiction myself. Today, helping individuals and families from all walks of life to be able to receive the help they need I believe that experiencing the horrors of the illness first hand far better prepared me to help those in need than the years of professional training that have followed.
