Your path may have become difficult to navigate or there may be things that you are challenged with in your life. We can all benefit from help but asking for help sometimes can be difficult. Together we can work to uncover and discover a deeper, more aware and authentic self. There are solutions to the problems or challenges you are facing. As a therapist, I have several years experience working with individuals and family members affected by addictive patterns, substance use and abuse, depression, anxiety and trauma. I also have experience working with couples or individuals dealing with various marital/relationship challenges.

Do you feel stuck, depressed, overwhelmed, or just unsure of what to do next? Does life currently seem too difficult to navigate on your own? Then you have come to the right place and there is good news; you are human! All of us struggle at times with life challenges that can feel daunting. Some of us have used unhealthy coping tools, like alcohol and other substances, that only exacerbated these challenges. I want you to know that you can find support and relief starting with finding a therapist who can help you examine, explore and discover what is working and what behaviors, thoughts and feelings are no longer useful.

As a therapist, my initial aim is to create a safe and non-judgmental place so that my clients are able to access and share their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with me. Through compassionate curiosity, I ask intentional questions that allow my clients to get to know themselves, their needs, and their goals for therapy. As clients process their past and present experiences with me, I help connect the dots – finding common themes and patterns that may be contributing to my client’s suffering or what we call “the presenting problem.”

As a therapist, my broader goal is in helping you experience higher states of fulfillment, joy, and peace of mind - rather than simply helping you decrease the symptoms you're having. It's about happiness and each person's unique recipe for that. I work well with a wide variety of psychoemotional problems such as anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and relationship difficulties with family, friendships, the self, or your love life. I have years of experience working in addiction treatment which has allowed me to work with an incredibly diverse population of all backgrounds.

Intimate relationships could be difficult to maintain and understand. Sometimes we are left confused and hurt by the behaviors and words of others. Our responses to these unfortunate behaviors might create a negative reaction which could worsen the feelings of despair. Having a personal psychotherapist with whom to explore some of these problems could be very rewarding and healing. Finding assertive ways to express our emotions using a win/win approach might assist in the healing of those injuries. Anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflict could be minimized or eliminated with the appropriate interventions.

I like helping people find contentment and happiness in their lives. I believe it is important to understand one's self and one's personal values and to make choices that are positive and life-affirming. I have had extensive experience working with people having experienced trauma and loss, relationship problems, and who have substance abuse problems. Creative people are also one of my specializations. My training is primarily psycho-dynamic along with cognitive-behavioral orientation. I believe mindfulness, spirituality and forgiveness are ways of helping alter patterns of behavior that can keep us stuck in our lives.
