Struggling to cope with intense worry, sadness, or anger can feel overwhelming and lonely. Reducing alcohol or other substance use can be similarly isolating and intertwined with negative emotions. Recognizing that there is a problem can be the largest hurdle, but finding a way to make those changes does not have to be. You may have already made attempts to change on your own and make things better, but it hasn’t quite worked out. Often, what to do and when to do it is not clear.

The first step is always the hardest, no matter what you’re struggling with. I believe that with the right tools and mindset, you can make some serious changes to the way you live your life. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who struggle with ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, grief, relationship complications, and LGBTQ issues. In my practice, I make sure to create a safe, welcoming, judge-free environment where you are free to be yourself.

Individual, couples, and family therapy is offered here regardless of age or cultural background. Collaborative approaches allow clients to not only manage their symptoms effectively, but to also improve their quality of life and relationships.

I enjoy working with a large spectrum of clients. From the intellectual client to the client who is emotionally aware, to the client who may have once been resistant to seeking treatment but is willing to explore it now. I have successfully worked with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and relationship issues. Motivation to succeed and interest in change is my ideally compatible client.

Does life feel overwhelming and not how you imagined it would be? Do you feel like you are a human "doing" instead of a human "being"?

If human beings are hard wired to be in relationships, then why are they so difficult sometimes? Especially after the past couple of years (did someone say pandemic?), we can find ourselves going through conflict and stress with loved ones. Struggling to find ways to cope and communicate may lead to endless arguments or feelings of hopelessness. You don’t have to be alone in the struggle. I work with both couples and individuals experiencing addictions, anxiety, depression and loss. I approach therapy as a creative conversation that not only helps to "put out the fire" but also to figure out how it started to begin with.
