At it's core, therapy is a process of healing and change. The decision to address an addiction, change your struggling marriage or address the other issues that hold you back is a difficult, but important step. I work with you to strengthen your relationships, create intimate connections, and sort through the baggage of life. My approach is positive, supportive and challenging when needed. In addition to addiction work, I also do "general practitioner" work like depression, anxiety, couple/marital therapy, and other mental health issues. My office is a safe and affirming space for all gender and sexual orientations.

You’re tired of waking up with cement on your chest. It’s hard to breathe. You’re exhausted before you even get out of bed, and when you do, you’re walking on eggshells in your own home. The isolation is mentally and physically exhausting. Friends don’t understand you, and your family can’t relate. As you become further isolated, you grow resentful, bitter, and angry.

Healing is a journey. For some, "healing" means reversing years of trauma, and for others it means 'getting out of my own head' or 'getting un-stuck.' For everyone, the path to healing is a difficult one, and it is lighter, easier, more meaningful when others join in with you. To you who have tried to go it alone, I invite you to reach out. Connecting with a counselor is a way to get un-stuck in your journey towards health, to bring healing to those deeper places of hurt.

I understand how difficult it can be to parent effectively, especially when it comes to improving communication and creating a peaceful home without resorting to yelling, screaming, or empty threats. Mastering positive parenting can be tough and overwhelming. Are you constantly arguing with your child or finding yourself using threats and getting into disagreements? Do you struggle to get your child to help with chores or show respect? I completely understand as I've been in similar situations. It's normal to want to feel in control while leading a balanced and satisfying life.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
