Thank you so much for taking the time to explore my practice. My emphasis is on adolescents and young adults who struggle with social, emotional, behavioral difficulties and relationship issues.

My ideal clients are people who are interested in working on themselves and value personal growth; who share a passion for removing the blocks to intimate connections with themselves and others. I like working with people who have a hard time yielding into connection—who are often excellent givers but have a more difficult time receiving. I enjoy working with individuals who are successful, powerful, or workaholics who struggle with intimacy and connection and who have found external solutions such as achievement, sex, alcohol, exercise, etc. to be lacking in providing a sense of ease, meaning and comfort to their lives.

I have extensive experience helping people attain sobriety and address the underlying issues that are often associated with substance use disorder. I have been providing therapy services and supervised other therapists for over 20 years. I love sitting with people and doing the work it takes to have a good life.

I enjoy providing a space for individuals from all walks of life to speak, be heard, heal, grow, and explore themselves and the world around them.

According to my mother, my first word was "why." Why is the sky blue? Why can't I have a cookie for breakfast? Why are people hurting? This curiosity is integral to my work as a therapist, as I strive to understand my client's worldview and the problems they are facing. Whether you are reliving past trauma, plagued by worrisome thoughts, concerned about your relationship or substance use, or feeling generally dissatisfied in life, I will provide an empathic ear, support, and guidance to help you meet these challenges and make the life changes you desire.

I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with past trauma, relational issues, identity, substance use and process addictions.

My hope is for you to gain insight and thrive throughout your life rather than just survive.

As your therapist, my commitment to you is to show up authentically human and always remain anchored in warmth, nonjudgmental, and accepting of you with curiosity and flexibility. In the therapeutic alliance we form, the priority will be a foundation of trust and emotional safety where you feel seen, understood, and valued. I find fulfillment through partnering with individuals who are ready to see a change in their lives, whatever that change may be.
