Sometimes the hardest part is not knowing what needs to change, but feeling like you have been carrying too much for too long. Anxiety may keep you constantly thinking ahead, bipolar disorder can make your emotions or energy feel difficult to predict, and depression may leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you want to be living. I work with adults experiencing substance use or addiction, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and end of life concerns. These experiences can become even more complicated when substance use becomes a way of coping with difficult emotions, or when major changes, loss, or uncertainty leave you questioning how to move forward. You deserve a place where the full picture of what you are experiencing can be understood without judgment. Together, we can make sense of what has been weighing on you, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, and work toward greater stability, confidence, and hope.

Our work will make room for both what you are experiencing today and the emotions, experiences, and patterns that have shaped how you cope with life’s challenges. We’ll explore how substance use or addiction, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and end of life concerns may be affecting your emotional wellbeing and ability to feel grounded in your everyday life. I may use Narrative Therapy to help you explore the stories you have developed about yourself and your experiences without allowing those stories to define your future, Motivational Interviewing to help you explore change without pressure and strengthen your own reasons for moving forward, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to identify strengths and practical steps toward the life you want to create. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and practice healthier ways of responding, while Psychodynamic Therapy can help us explore how earlier experiences and relationships may continue to influence the way you feel and cope today. Our sessions will be collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in your individual needs, giving you space for deeper understanding while also helping you create meaningful change.

You do not have to arrive knowing exactly what needs to change or how you are going to get there. During our first few sessions, we will spend time understanding what has brought you to therapy, what has been most difficult lately, and what you hope will feel different in your life. Together, we will identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic and decide where it makes the most sense to begin. You can expect me to meet you with warmth, curiosity, and respect while creating a space where you can talk honestly about difficult emotions, substance use, uncertainty, or major life experiences without feeling judged. Progress may look like feeling more capable of managing anxiety or changes in mood, developing healthier ways of coping, feeling less weighed down by depression, making changes in your relationship with substances, or finding greater peace and meaning during difficult transitions. We will continue checking in on your goals and adjust our work based on what is helping you most. When you are ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
