For 25 years, I have assisted people with a variety of addictions, from the exogenous abuse of drugs and alcohol, to the ones that stem from the chemicals already inside the brain, such as sex and love addiction, abandonment patterns, sexual compulsions, gambling, internet, and workaholism. Unlike most psychotherapists, I’m a Board Certified Addiction Specialist, well versed in both abstinence and harm reduction strategies. Unlike most addiction professionals, I am also psychotherapist who also treats the anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues that often manifest after being uncovered through recovery.

You have always been a high achiever at work. At home, you are the rock of your family. Everyone always looks to you for help. You take care of everybody around you, but you always neglect yourself. Maybe because you’re keeping busy to avoid having to deal with your past hurtful experiences. You feel lost and lonely despite having people around you. No one knows about your struggles. But now you’ve reached a breaking point. Your anxiety is out of control, and it is affecting your work and personal life. You are ready to stop that infinite loop that keeps replaying. It’s time to take care of you. It is now time to find healing.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 40 years of experience. I continue to practice, yet in a narrow scope of interest. I am offering psychotherapy only to returning patients, as well as those seeking services for social anxiety, and performance anxiety (with an emphasis and sports and athletic performance). Additionally, I offer executive and leadership coaching, which falls outside the purview of psychotherapy.

My belief as a therapist is that we all possess innate and unique strengths that are best highlighted when we feel supported. This support is the impetus for change and for developing a stronger sense of resilience.

Many people come to me wondering why they're unhappy, anxious, or unable to find fulfillment. The problem may seem obvious but a solution impossible. The same painful experiences repeat themselves, but why? And how to change them? If we meet, I will work together to discover how you can come to grips with whatever is troubling you. In doing so, you may discover, as sometimes happens, that there are ways to experience yourself and others that are genuinely different from what you've known thus far.

I specialize in working with couples who are planning to have children, postpartum parents, and families to help promote healing and growth. Having and raising children is one of the hardest and longest-term projects anyone will ever take on. I want to help parents engage in this process with self-awareness, intention, and love to help improve their own well-being, as well as the child or children's. I believe wellness starts in the home and each member of a family unit can help contribute to positive connections through taking time to work on themselves and then care for others.

Modern day life increasingly necessitates managing multiple roles and stressors, but it also has numerous ways to distract and numb ourselves. It’s easy to become disconnected from our relationships and ourselves, and lose sight of our values and goals. Engaging in therapy provides a unique opportunity to slow down. I will help you identify the patterns that no longer serve you, make more conscious choices to improve your self-worth, build stronger relationships, and achieve your goals. Together, we will navigate life's challenges, whether it's managing stress, enhancing self-confidence, or dealing with life transitions.

Couples/Relationship Counseling. LGBTQ, Poly, & Kink friendly. Clients that like my style seek therapy mostly for anxiety or depression that comes from the feeling that life lacks purpose, feels stuck, or stale; especially during times of heartache, misunderstanding, break-ups, or even death. Many useful moments, crucial moments, can arise at the end of something - unresolved past hurts, spiritual dilemmas, a sudden urgency and passion for figuring out "why we're here" - understanding them and integrating them is what I offer. Closing the old stuff up well means new, exciting beginnings are possible...often in the same relationship!
