I’m also a licensed Addiction Counselor; this practice has provided me the opportunity to work with individuals struggling with a substance abuse, ranging from inpatient treatment, to people who are just starting to question their substance use patterns.
My counseling experiences over the years have been incredibly enriching and meaningful. I am continually moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings. Within these programs I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors.

I will utilize these approaches in order to address various issues related to anxiety, depression, addiction, self-esteem, anger, relationship issues etc.
Unfortunately previous negative experiences with counseling can impact one's decision to seek out treatment again. Therapy isn't about walking into a room because of needing to be "fixed". Therapy is a collaborative approach that begin's with me creating a safe, comfortable, and non judgmental environment. I will always recognize the person before the behavior that we are working to change. My hope at the end of each session is to assist with enhancing your strengths to elicit long term change.

Perhaps you struggle with depression or anxiety and are overwhelmed trying to manage the stress of daily living. You may find yourself resorting to substance use or other compulsive behaviors as a form of coping with daily stressors. You are committed to change and have tried to change, but lack the deeper awareness of what is driving the behaviors. It can be disheartening to acknowledge the unwanted impact on your life and on your valued relationships.

Additionally, I have professional experiences that include working with folks who struggle with Substance Use Disorder, trauma, eating disorders and disordered eating, working with LGBTQI+ folks, and working with children and adolescents to help navigate and create a safe and collaborative environment for change.
I operate from the framework that no human being need to navigate the difficulties of life alone. Life can often times bring us unexpected results. Strong emotions associated with anxiety, depression or trauma can cause us to turn toward certain behaviors and situations to help us cope. When these behaviors and situations become unsafe or unsuitable for what we want in life, it can sometimes become difficult to find our way on our own. I offer an environment that is safe, compassionate and collaborative. My approach allows us to work together to promote your individual strengths that aid in the healing of emotional scars.

I specialize in the treatment of alcohol & substance abuse, complex trauma, anxiety, personality, and mood disorders.
We develop strategies early in life to ensure our safety. As adults, we often find these strategies are no longer effective and often harmful. As a survivor of complex trauma and a family history of generational alcohol & substance abuse, I believe individuals can and do recover. My personal journey led me to pursue a career helping others to overcome the baggage of their past.
