Having over 20 years of experience, I specialize in guiding and supporting individuals as they navigate complex relationship issues. Many are family members who have loved ones that struggle with addiction. I help people resolve unhealed emotions and break patterns they’ve been stuck in so they can grow in setting limits, building confidence, and feeling better.

I create a safe and comfortable space for you to share openly. During the initial consultation, I gather information and devise the best ways to help. Because I believe knowledge is power, my intention is to help you understand your presenting concerns or addiction. In the following steps, I collaborate with you on new ways of coping, communication, and connecting in relationships. I aim to help you find purpose and belonging in the world, to discover personal strengths and look forward to your life.

I completed a training that is known to make a big difference for trauma survivors, this technique is called EMDR. I continue to learn how powerful reprocessing difficult memories it by witnessing the changes that happen in my clients.

Pulling from my education, and experience, I help people replace isolation and loneliness with connection and hope. There are two main methods I use to help clients, I teach them how to identify errors in their thinking through (CBT) and help them to recognize obstacles to progress through (ACT) so my clients can get back on track. We all need strategies to focus on what matters most to us. Through the therapeutic process, I help family members diffuse intense emotions with their loved ones using mindfulness exercises. With practical communication skills & a plan for next steps, families & couples experience hope, knowing that things can change for the better.
