I enjoy working with a diverse population of people. I have had a lot of success working with individuals and couples with substance use issues and addictions as well as those with process addictions such as sex/pornography, gambling, etc. Many times, these addictions are rooted in trauma of some kind. Many times, they will manifest in mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and other pervasive disorders. I want the opportunity to help you navigate through those and beat them. We all know that life is difficult but it doesn't have to be this way everyday. Let's get started on finding who we are together and living life again.

My approach to therapy centers around the belief that every individual has inherent dignity, and is worthy to be seen, heard, and cared for. Anyone is welcome into my office. Every life experience is unique, and often these experiences can carry specific hurts, pains and sorrows. When life feels overwhelmingly challenging and burdensome, counseling can be a wonderful mechanism to assist in times of need. I believe that peace and joy are possible, and that no story is hopeless, because no story is done being written.

The client is the center of any counseling. Being motivated and having feelings that someone cares is the first key to overcoming addiction. Family support is as equally important because substance addiction is about support. A client's needs, his or her goals are vital to my operation. Healing is about the whole of an individual.

Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected? Has something in your life become unmanageable? You've probably tried talking with your family and friends, only to feel more frustrated and confused. Thinking about the future is hard because you feel discouraged. You are stuck in a routine that is holding you in place. You have probably noticed that your relationships are suffering because you feel disconnected; you do not have the same eagerness to connect with your loved ones because you are using all your energy to make it through the days. The things you used to enjoy are a distant memory.
