Don’t give up, you are not alone. When we are experiencing emotional pain, healing occurs when an empathic and compassionate therapist helps to explore and understand what your psyche needs. Pain is inevitable at times for all humans, although suffering does not have to be. Emotional discomfort is the signal from your psyche that change is necessary and crises and challenges can be opportunities for our psyche to heal and grow. If you have experienced a loss, are trying to manage conflicts with a partner, friend or colleague, or seeking to improve your relationship with yourself, psychotherapy or hypnotherapy can be helpful.

Making a correct diagnosis is a strength I developed working inpatient. My style is genuine, supportive, empathic and directive.

Are you experiencing: anxiety, malaise, feeling stuck, indecision, less connected, angry, or a sense something is missing? Are your intimate relationships satisfying? Is doubling down on “getting back to basics” or are you still wrestling with abstinence? We don’t fail or struggle from a lack of desire or willpower. We fail or struggle from a lack of support. You likely need more support than AA, or an IOP provides. I provide a personal, customized approach that can improve the effectiveness of your other efforts dramatically. Getting and staying sober is so much more than putting down the substance.

I am a fellow traveler on the path of healing. My own healing process informs my work as therapist as much as my different trainings have taught me. We cannot escape our past, but can use its teachings to open up our present and future. There is a wise person and healer within the limits our trauma has imposed upon us. Finding that inner resource is my vision for anyone choosing to work with me.
