Waitlist for new clients
I work extensively with clients dealing with various addictions, dual diagnosis, eating and mood disorders, trauma, woman's issues, and family relationship conflicts.
Relationships take work! Whether its your relationship with yourself, your spouse, your family or your co-workers, it's all about communication. Using a holistic approach, I can help you find your way through the barriers that have created stress or caused other obstacles in your life. I know that one person or a supportive therapeutic experience can have the power to change one's perspective and make a huge positive difference in your life. There is always hope and I believe more than anything that everyone's story matters.

You deserve to feel happy, healthy, and loved! Your relationships can be the best part of your life, helping you to feel joy, appreciation, and fulfillment...or you can find yourself just going through the motions. In our stressful and demanding world, it is all too easy to disconnect from those who are most important to us; poor communication leads to a lack of understanding, and we become demanding, intolerant, and unforgiving of ourselves and of those who matter most. Instead of sharing quality time together, we spend our energy tearing each other down. Gaining awareness, and learning from the past instead of dwelling on it, are some of the first steps toward moving forward. I find nothing more satisfying than helping people to overcome their obstacles so that they can love and feel loved, accept and feel accepted, and realize that they are truly worthy of all that life has to offer. Since 2009, I've helped my clients become better versions of themselves; let's work together and start turning your possibilities into realities!

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.
