Life is always changing. Situations come up in our life such as addiction, relapse, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, stress, grief and self-esteem issues. Oftentimes, it becomes important to talk about issues in a safe, comfortable, judgment-free environment. In a therapeutic relationship, my role is to provide the space and tools for the work to be done at a relaxed and deliberate pace. It is important to see measurable change.

We do this by creating a plan early in therapy with the intention of routinely revisiting the treatment plan and adjusting as needed on the road to a happier and more fulfilled life.

My grandfather made addiction his life's work, and I was raised into the helping profession from early on. I began working at my grandfather's treatment center during high school, and my experience there helped lay the groundwork for my graduate studies, where I developed an integrative approach to mental health and addiction. I subsequently gained experience working individuals and families effected by problems with mental health and substance abuse.

Now, in the outpatient private practice setting, I focus on maintaining a safe and judgment-free space that allows for meaningful change. My specialties include teenagers with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues, adults with anxiety, depression and grief, and substance abuse and dependence with ages 13 and up.
