My focus when I work with clients struggling with addictions is to assist them to identify the underlying issues that cause them to struggle with addiction and help them to overcome these issues, while acquiring purposeful direction, motivation and the development of independence. I recognize that each person is unique and therefore needs individualized counseling strategies that will provide the best outcome for their own needs.

Therapy for all. High-Functioning Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Relationship Stress.
Are you struggling behind the smile you show to the world? Are handling your responsibilities, showing up for others, and getting things done, but internally dealing with overthinking, stress, frustration, or feeling stuck?
Do you feel pressured to figure things out alone, not talk about emotions, and keep pushing forward?
I work with those who are tired of overthinking everything, avoiding difficult conversations, anxious, depressed, or feeling like they’re not moving forward in life.
Many of my clients deal with anxiety, ADHD, relationship stress, or burnout, but it shows up as procrastination, anger, shutting down, irritability, isolation, or feeling mentally drained.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not the only one, and you don’t have to keep handling it the same way.
