Why is change so hard, especially in the world of addiction? This question resonates deeply with many of us, tapping into the universal struggle of transforming our lives for the better. With over a decade of dedicated service in the mental health field, I've cultivated an understanding of the intricate work be tween desire and action, particularly in overcoming addiction. As a certified addictions counselor, my expertise lies in navigating the treacherous waters of change, guiding individuals through the tumultuous journey from dependency to freedom. But addiction is not the sole focus of my practice.

I have a passion for hearing people's stories and helping them find their place in this world. I believe we all have a desire to be happy and to feel whole. We have a core desire to feel wanted and loved and the first step is learning to love ourselves. Therapy can help you achieve that desire. The mind is the control center of behavior and emotion and if we can work through negative thought patterns together and help you realize the strengths that already lie within you, we can together create a healthier, happier YOU. My goal is to help you gain a sense of trust in yourself, and an openness to experience life to the fullest.
