Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, coping with trauma, various addictions, relationship issues, wondering why there is so much confusion and suffering, seeking answers to spiritual or existential questions, or simply pursuing personal growth and wanting to go deeper, I will work hard to empower you, so you can overcome these challenges and attain your goals. Together, we will explore, clarify, and work to resolve issues at the root of your concerns and experiences, clearing a path towards a happier and more fulfilling life.
For over 18 years, I have worked in residential and outpatient settings, providing direct care and supervising. Although I have specialized in treating substance use disorders, I also have significant experience helping patients experiencing anxiety, depression/mood issues, trauma, ADHD, and other mental health, spiritual, and creative challenges.

Whatever you might be experiencing right now, my heart goes out to you. Life can really suck. At times, seemingly impossible to “figure out”. Through my own life experiences and clinical work, I have experienced and witnessed profound suffering. Through all of that, I’ve learned there is a way. Reach out. I’d love to hear from you and help you find that way.

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and ADHD, among other things. In our sessions we will explore what arises and will collaboratively work to create a plan to journey towards healing, wholeness, and authenticity. That may mean a reduction in symptoms, which happens in the course of this work, or a greater understanding of self and overall transformation.
