I work with individuals in a reflective and warm approach, helping them navigate life’s stressors and boost their resilience. I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals in helping them identify underlying mindsets (ie. perfectionism, low self-esteem, “imposter syndrome”) and habits that hold them back. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I am committed to providing evidence-based treatments, tailored to the individual’s goals and needs, and doing so through a safe and trauma-informed lens.

Having an addicted person in your life can feel like a nightmare and tear your family apart. In order for addiction to have a chance of healing, we must first address the dynamics of the addict's relationships with their loved ones. Many loved ones unwittingly enable the addiction to continue, sometimes because they want to avoid confrontation and conflict. As the enabling continues, the addiction continues as well-and becomes progressively worse. It is important to understand that enabling an addict is never a loving act-and only leads to more severe consequences as time goes on.
