Things in life aren't going how you want? Are you stressed all the time? Maybe you feel sad, mad, or lost, and others don't understand. Sometimes life looks okay from the outside, but it doesn't feel that way. Has your relationship changed and you're not sure how to fix it? I'm here to help!

I use the Relational Life Therapy model to challenge existing patterns in a stuck relationship to encourage lasting change in how partners and family members relate to one another. I will teach you strategies and skills that can help move your life and relationships in the direction you want to go. I can help you feel more confident in your ability to cope with life’s ups and downs; relate to yourself and others with more patience and compassion; and change negative, fearful, or destructive patterns that are getting in the way of the kind of life you want for yourself.

I specialize in addiction/dual diagnosis, but treat various mental health problems as well (depression, anxiety, relationship problems, etc.). I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a psychodynamic approach, but I alter treatment depending on your needs. Feeling stagnant as well as drug and alcohol concerns are often a result of deeper struggles such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and obstacles in your daily life. If you are feeling stuck and are grappling with how to move forward I can help guide you through it. *Please say your name when prompted when you call, otherwise your call will not go through.*
