I specialize in co-occurring disorders (individuals with both substance use and mental health disorders), anxiety, and trauma.
As a therapist, my hope is that you feel safe, empowered, and validated as we work together to find solutions to the various challenges you are facing. I believe self-awareness and self-compassion are foundational to personal healing and growth and are integral parts of the work we do in therapy. I've had the joy and privilege of helping individuals navigate through addiction and recovery, anxiety, traumatic experiences, depression, and life stressors. I use multiple therapeutic approaches, based off the needs and cultures of my clients, as therapy should be unique and tailored to the individual.

Most of my clients have had addiction issues. I have learned that many people become addicted because they have had very painful experiences in their lives. Often those painful experiences are related to their substance use. Using drugs or alcohol helps ease the pain of their most painful memories. Unfortunately, using creates a whole host of other problems as well. Therapy can help identify, address, and potentially resolve those issues without drugs. EMDR therapy in particular has been shown to help greatly in reducing the pain of our most painful memories. I offer a friendly, nonjudgmental attitude to users, friends, and family.

I provide substance use and mental health services for clients and family members impacted by addiction and mental health issues.
The primary goal of counseling is to provide the most effective therapeutic experience available to you. The purpose is to help facilitate behavior change by improving the client's ability to establish and maintain relationships, enhancing the client's effectiveness and ability to cope, promoting the decision-making process, and facilitating client potential and development. Clinicians cannot fix other people's problems; our job is to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows the individual an opportunity to build the necessary skills needed to make better choices in their life.
