If you are on the path toward healing or overcoming your past yet still struggle, my practice can help. Through time spent serving in community mental health and substance abuse treatment settings, I have obtained over 15 years of experience in guiding children and adults toward answers for their life issues and conflicts. Specifically, I engage wounded individuals who feel ready to confront the traumas and problems that get in the way of living their best lives.
Through a non-judgmental, client-centered approach, I help find answers about your functioning and relationships. Specifically, I utilize body-based interventions to link your past experiences to present-day struggles to treat severe mood disorders, substance abuse and PTSD/trauma in children and adults. In seeking help, you need someone who not only understands your issues but also understands you as a person.

Many clients leave their first session feeling relieved, grounded, and hopeful—because they finally have a dedicated space that is entirely focused on their growth and wellbeing.
