Ready to try something different? I'm not like other therapists. I am a follower of No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) (YES, that is a real therapy!), which was developed to engage people who are cynical, suspicious, or unsure of what to expect from counseling and therefore reluctant to seek counseling. Looking to connect in a world filled with stress, relationship issues, anxiety and worry? If you are in a place in your life where you are ready to make some needed changes, want to reduce your alcohol or substance use or just stop, I can help you become a better version of who you are.
You are not alone and I will work with you to identify and change the thought and behavior patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best and becoming your authentic self. I specialize in connecting with clients on a personal level, meeting them where they are at and guiding clients to identifying the triggers and issues which are impacting them.
My ultimate goal with every client is to help them rekindle their purpose in life. Working with you is my passion and addiction is a disease that can leave many hopeless. However, I'm here to remind you that change is always possible… when you put in the work. A new beginning and purpose are around the corner.
