I specialize in serious mental illness, addiction, and trauma. I help the folx who have faced stigma and struggle to find a provider who feels comfortable working with people with chronic disorders or thoughts of not wanting to live.

I don’t see people as their conditions, because those who struggled have strengths and potential beyond most people — the tragedy is that they often don’t see it themselves.

I have seen what happens when people are put in a box (their diagnosis, trauma, or what people tell them).

And on the flip side, I've seen what happens when people see themselves as far more than their illness.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.”

My philosophy is to approach clients collaboratively, using science-backed therapies with high success rates. I help people address trauma, negative thinking, addiction, and symptoms - and also build the skills that help you outside the therapy room. I've been trained by some of the world's best clinicians and have an engineering background.

We deal with the past, address barriers in the present, and build a future you look forward to.

I'll ask you some basic questions:

How would you describe what's been happening to you?

What do you think has brought this on?

What concerns you most about what's happening?

What would be most helpful to you right now?

And of course, you're welcome to ask questions, too.
