Addiction/Substance Use Disorders are family illnesses that create unhealthy patterns in all types of relationships. Recovery is a journey from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body to contentment and serenity! The journey is Physical, Mental/Emotional and Spiritual. It does take time and a willingness to walk through some discomfort in order to gather tools, practice using them and gain confidence. I wish to serve those who desire to begin that journey, or have already been walking the journey but may need some assistance to work through some core issues that keep creating chaos in you or a loved one's life.

There are times in life when we simply feel "stuck". Despite how bleak things may seem, there is always reason to hope for change. As a strengths-based therapist, I assume my clients are caring and capable. My purposeful questions and Brainspotting techniques help clients connect with their best selves, allowing them to unlock solutions to the challenges they face. I work with adults, couples and teens around such challenges as: psychological barriers to healthy lifestyles, relationship difficulties, infidelity & divorce, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, impulsive behavior, binge eating, weight loss, and chronic pain.

You’ve been through so much and it's left you struggling with guilt, shame, and overwhelm. Other people say you're "strong," but you don't feel that way. You’re tired of living in fear, tired of feeling like there’s something wrong with you just for needing help. You want more out of life: less anxiety and shame, more self-compassion, more moments of joy. You’re ready to understand your trauma, to stop being so hard on yourself, and to feel heard and accepted without judgment. Together, we can work toward a life where you feel more confident, connected, and fully present, embracing all of your emotions.

Sometimes we have a difficult time putting into words what we need and describing the current feelings that are present. I would love to help you through any depression, anxiety, or feelings of confusion you might have. I am also here to help you navigate any life stressors or transitions, big or small, from school, jobs, or relationship struggles. I have worked with a wide range of populations, but have the most experience working with clients between the ages of 8 and 30 who are facing relationship issues, life transition difficulty, and who need support through a difficult phase of life.

Right now, it probably feels like you’re holding onto water, trying to juggle all the roles you play. Spouse, partner, friend, parent, daughter, son, sibling, employee, and the list goes on. You feel like you don’t have a grip on your relationships with others, and it gets challenging trying to find a solution. There might even be different times when you suppress all the stress of this, or there might be other times when you say things to others you don’t mean. That is frustrating and hard.

Many therapists like myself venture into the mental health field motivated by their own experiences. Growing up in a family that struggled with addictions, grief/loss, co-dependency, violence and dysfunction, I existed in life feeling lonely, worthless, and empty for too many years. I turned my life upside down and reconstructed my life based upon me as I was truly created. Living life whole, as a spiritually connected being, brought me to love, accept and respect myself. In this place LIFE IS GOOD! I know the path that leads to this place.
