Great to meet you!

Are you struggling with an addiction you can’t seem to change? Addiction is not a character flaw or a willpower problem. It is your body doing what it learned to do to survive stress, pain, and whatever you have been carrying. I see teens and adults for individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I help people that are struggling to quit or cut back on drinking, drugs, smoking, vaping, gambling, pornography, gaming, and phone use. I help address underlying symptoms of shame and guilt. We look at why you use, and I teach you real skills to handle cravings and urges. I pull from my clinical training and personal life experience.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in patterns around addiction and the challenges that often come with it. In our work together, we focus on understanding what's driving these patterns, building motivation for change, and finding practical ways to move forward. Over time, this can lead to feeling more in control, more confident, and more connected.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll take time to understand what's been going on and what you're hoping will change. We'll look at what matters most to you and what may be getting in the way. From there, we'll work together in a way that feels supportive, practical, and focused on real change.
