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 between 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.

We are passionate about helping the healers in this world and are only accepting therapists as new clients. As therapists we have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves. As healers, our own health is our biggest asset. Let us be your advocate and show you a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in your life. We strongly believe that we become amazing therapists once we tap into the wisdom of our own lived experiences and know the humbling experience of being a client. We believe that the most important and effective therapeutic intervention is you.

You’ve had experiences you can’t talk about with others. You’ve never made peace with them. They haunt you, lurking under the surface all the time. Leaving you feeling rattled, jittery, afraid, jumpy, depressed, fatigued and isolated. Decades of abuse. A pattern of falling in love with unavailable, alcoholic narcissists. Escaped poverty in shameful ways. Had an illness, injury or disability that changed your life forever. Perhaps you escaped a cult. Had a psychotic or manic episode. A near death experience. A spiritual awakening turned crisis. Think you’re an alien or were abducted. Healing wounds that are not yours.

With great attention to what makes each of us unique, I love to support clients in feeling more whole as themselves. Our journeys as humans can feel quite isolating & confusing. Regardless of where your path has led you, I will meet you where you are & empower you to find your inner strength. Many of us struggle with emotions and thoughts we don’t know how to cope with, & behaviors we don’t feel good about, & we may not know how to change this. It is difficult & frustrating to feel stuck. Therapy is a validating & affirming space. Please know that I have a profound passion for helping clients and I meet all inquiry with compassion.

Please know that if you are struggling with mood, work, family, relationship, and/or parenting issues, you do NOT have to struggle alone.
I have found that people often suffer "in silence" and that this can greatly reduce your ability to see viable options to problems. Likewise, sometimes people continue their life feeling chronically distressed and think this is "normal."

If you're reading this right now, it's likely you or a loved one are facing challenges, considering changes, or need direction.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist for more than 13 years, I've learned two things. First, everyone wants and deserves to live happily ever after. Second, living happily ever isn't easy and, sometimes, requires professional help.
I believe in happily ever after. My practice is devoted to helping adults, children, families, and couples discover and use their talents and strengths to find and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

What if you could navigate your relationships, manage stress during life transitions in healthier ways, understand the roots of your anxiety or addiction and communicate in ways that foster deeper connections? As an experienced therapist, I understand that embarking on a journey of change takes courage. Imagine a life where you're not bound by the limitations that keep you feeling "stuck" in patterns that no longer serve you.
