How I Can Help
Addiction & Recovery
Emotional Health
Recovering from addiction requires an understanding of the underlying issues that are driving you to seek comfort through an unhealthy substance or behavior. Equally important in recovery is gaining knowledge about your body’s chemistry and allowing yourself to identify, process, and manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I take a holistic approach in treating addiction, combining mindfulness techniques with traditional forms of therapy, to help you develop and strengthen healthier patterns of living.
Panic, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Grief & Loss, and Women's Health Issues are among the many clinical concerns I have treated. I typically begin by helping you identify the symptoms you're experiencing, so we can explore ways to manage the symptoms, including implementing coping skills and therapeutic interventions to decrease the distressing emotions and increase your healthy functioning. I also work with esteemed psychiatrists that provide evaluations and medication management when necessary.
relationships
Many people seek therapy because they are having frequent arguments with others and have reached a complete breakdown in communication. Infidelity may arise and disrupt intimate relationships, or there may be deep personal issues that have never been addressed, creating conflict with those we love the most. I work with individuals, couples and families to help identify and process these experiences, in order to rebuild and regain the healthy communication, respect, and trust that every relationship needs.

My Style
Relational.
Collaborative.
Mindful.
I bring my personality into the room so you feel comfortable and safe to share your experiences with me. While there may be many tears shed, there is often quite a bit of laughter too. I integrate various treatment modalities into therapy because every person is different. I honor your individuality and I seek to understand you and meet your needs. I have witnessed incredible results with my clients throughout their course of therapy and I truly believe that change is possible.
