You might be feeling “stuck”, or like a part of your story still affects you more than you’d like it to. Maybe what you’ve been doing just isn’t working anymore, and you’re struggling to move forward. In therapy, we’ll work together to help you find meaning, peace, and a more effective way out of the behaviors that just aren't working for you anymore. I’ve learned that everybody has a story, usually one of resilience, compassion, and courage— and my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, space for you to share yours.

I am a fully licensed substance use disorder professional.
I am skilled at supporting people struggling with anxiety, trauma, racism, immigration and acculturation stress, life changes, and relationship issues. I am EMDR trained. I believe therapy should be integrative, collaborative with clients as they identify the issues they deem most important. The framework of my work is heavily drawn from a trauma informed lens. The client is the expert of their own stories, how they can use stories to make sense of the world and what happened to them. I believe that people can be active in changing their stories and shaping the future they want.

I specialize in helping men struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors like pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, work, video games, relationships, etc.

My work integrates cutting-edge models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR tools, Polyvagal Theory, etc to bring together the science and soul of healing.

I help people work through grief, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions with warmth, clarity, and respect.
Many capable, high-functioning adults reach a point where effort no longer brings clarity. Burnout, loss of meaning, vocational confusion, or faith-related disorientation can quietly destabilize an otherwise functional life.
I work with adults seeking orientation and clarity during these moments. In addition to insurance-based therapy through Mindful Therapy Group, I offer a limited number of Meaning & Direction Intensives—private, extended consultations designed to provide focused clarity without the constraints of insurance or diagnosis.

Psychotherapy involves entering into the stuck places of your life and listening for how you struggle to live freely and authentically. It involves discovering, caring for, and reshaping the parts of your mind that are related to the problems you experience. This may involve learning to recognize unhelpful responses to pain that have themselves evolved into addictive or compulsive behaviors, addressing problematic relational patterns or making room to feel the deep hurts of loss or trauma and learning how to live well with the wounds that have shaped you.

Things feel harder than they should. Your child might be anxious, easily overwhelmed, shutting down, or reacting in big ways. You are doing your best to help, but it still feels way too hard, or even impossible.

I do have previous experience working with addiction issues, including process addiction, women's issues, adolescents, relationships, depression, trauma, and anxiety.
It's common to struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, relationship issues, and meaning-making, but learning how to navigate those issues is so tricky. As a trauma-informed counselor, I understand that moving into alignment with what we want isn't easy and it's a learned skill to turn toward it anyway. My aim is to be an ally amongst challenges with repetitive cycles. I know from personal experience that accessibility to mental health can feel like it's only for people with money. Taking Medicaid is a huge value of mine because support should be available for everyone.

My practice is currently full. I help adults increase a sense of stability and resource in times of shift and change.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
