Coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, or even just life stressors can at times feel overwhelming. It's like you are stuck in a cycle of pain and anguish, and your best efforts to deal with it end up making things worse. Maybe you have reached out to friends and family for help, and have been met with either criticism or well-intentioned, but unhelpful advice. You might have even read a self-help book or two, and struggled to use what you've learned for more than a couple weeks. Sometimes, even the efforts to change seem so difficult that you'll give up, convinced things will never get better. There is a better way.

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions; intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand--that even in the most dire circumstances positive change is possible. My philosophy is to provide you with patience; positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions.

I strive to create an open and inclusive environment that allows each individual the opportunity to work towards their unique therapeutic goals. There is no one size fits all in therapy, therefore my treatment approach is integrative and strengths based. Drawing from many frameworks including mindfulness, motivational interviewing, DBT and CBT. Having a background working with both substance use and mental illness I feel comfortable working with a broad range of individuals but particularly those who have or have a loved one who has struggled with substance use.

Feeling stuck is a hard place to be. A moment of relief is always welcomed in life that is fast pace and at times overwhelming; but moments are just temporary. It is possible to attain a life in which you feel relief to a point where you have freedom and opportunity to be your best and most healthy self. Maybe you don't know what a healthy self looks like anymore? Maybe you don't have the time or energy? You are not alone. Now is the time to restart, rebuild, and redefine who you are. Together, I can help individuals become more aware of unhealthy patterns, build mastery with coping skills, and develop a more positive lifestyle.
