Are you or someone you love experiencing the effects of addiction? Its confusing to know what to do, which then leads to indecision or feeling entirely stuck. Often, addictions stem from dysfunctional experiences in childhood. If you’re experiencing an addiction- or have a family member who is- then you can probably relate to feelings of extreme loneliness, struggles with perfectionism, avoidance of feelings, codependency issues, anxiety, and various types of family conflict. You don’t have to go through this alone. TOGETHER we can move toward healing these emotional wounds one step at a time.

Sometimes during your journey in life, or in the journeys of persons close to us, we get lost. Ideally, there is a book nearby when lost that tells us specifically how to solve life's challenges. If such a book exists, I've not encountered one. During such times, the practice of psychotherapy is often the "book" and answers we seek.

Feeling like you've been stuck lately? Do you want someone to talk to? We all need someone to understand us when we feel overwhelmed.

Nothing can be changed over night, but together we can work together.

I’ve been a psychotherapist, adjunct psychology professor, clinical supervisor, and trainer. My approach is collaborative, and I consider the whole person: we need to pay attention to our bodies, feelings, thoughts, and relationships. We often feel best when we have a sense of integration … congruency within ourselves, relationships, and how we operate with the world and circumstances around us. Our bodies and brains function as one, and I honor and deeply appreciate our body’s wonderful sense to do what it needs to do to keep us safe physically, emotionally, and relationally, and to detect any type of “threat” to our well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with clinical experience working with children, adolescents and families in clinical and school settings. I help my clients learn skills that will help them become the inner self they aspire to be. My areas of focus include anxiety, eating disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, mood disorders, family conflict, and trauma. I help provide a space that allows a person to be themselves without the pressures that society places on each of us.

There are times when our life, or the lives of family members are no longer as enjoyable as planned. Sadness, arguments, anxiety, and substance use often occur when we experience ourselves going into a direction we don't like. During these challenges, the core of disagreements may simply be a different viewpoint on how a person should live and think. When your challenges become chronic, despite efforts to change, its time to involve professionals. When your way of thinking/behaving no longer progress you towards your goals....it may be time to make the call you frequently thought of making.

We can all feel overwhelmed with life sometimes. Life is challenging and often unpredictable. I believe strongly that the power of a trusting relationship can help us work through what holds us back and keeps us from living the life we want. I primarily work with children, adolescents and young adults.
