My ideal clients are those navigating behavioral or substance use addictions, anxiety and depression, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

The power of your challenges is temporary, and you don't have to face unwanted emotions alone. It's essential to address any hurt, shame, guilt, depression, or anxiety you might be experiencing.

Healing is a journey, not an event, and it starts by forging a new path, doing things differently.
I believe we are a collection of our experiences. We learn to change our actions or suppress our feelings to fit the expectations of others. Sometimes, the culmination of these experiences can leave us feeling unbalanced, not ourselves. In these seasons of uncertainty, we yearn for change but aren’t sure how to make that happen.

I work with clients that present with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction - often stemming from underlying issues with codependency, low self-worth, family of origin issues, and unresolved trauma. I see individuals, couples, and adolescents. If appropriate, I like working with clients in a group setting where peer support and identification with others help clients feel less misunderstood, alone or different.

I work with adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions. I believe that having a safe, supportive space to talk openly about life’s challenges is an essential part of healing and growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process where understanding and connection can develop, helping young people build confidence, resilience, hope, and a stronger sense of well-being.

No one wakes up and thinks "I want to become an Addict." Life takes us by surprise sometimes and it often gets messy and confusing, but you don't have to do this alone. Most of my clients are looking to restore areas of their lives stolen by addiction: family, careers, legal, and self-respect. They also seek help finding the root cause of the addiction in order to prevent further damage. Healing the whole person mentally, emotionally, and spiritually is of top priority. Let me help you!
