Introduction

If you are here, it probably means you need some help, which can be a hard thing to admit, and even a harder thing to ask for. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress. Maybe you’re coping with trauma, addiction, relationship issue, grief, or just any other “life stuff”. Maybe you are doing ok and just looking to grow and understand yourself on a deeper level, perhaps seeking answers to spiritual and existential questions. Whatever is on your heart and mind, I will be firmly in your corner. Together, we will explore, clarify, and work to resolve issues at the root of your concerns, clearing a path to a happier life. For almost 20 years, I have worked in residential and outpatient settings, providing direct care and supervising. Although I have specialized in treating substance use disorders, I also have significant experience helping patients experiencing anxiety, depression & mood issues, trauma, grief, ADHD, and other mental health, spiritual, and creative challenges. Whatever you might be experiencing right now, my heart goes out to you. Life can really suck. At times, seemingly impossible to “figure out”. Through my own life experiences and clinical work, I have experienced and witnessed profound suffering. Through all of that, I’ve learned there is a way. Reach out. I’d love to hear from you and help you find that way.
