Trained in the disease model of addiction, I work from the basic tenet that addiction is not a moral failing but rather a disease located in the brain. I have spent the last 4 years treating individuals suffering from challenges of addiction both through group therapy and individual work. I strongly believe that any individual is capable of recovery with the right support, and tools.

Anxiety can be an exhausting experience that presents itself with a wide range of symptoms. I work with anxiety from a two-pronged approach by first educating individuals on skills that may support reduction of anxiety symptoms in real life scenarios while developing an increased sense of empowerment to manage symptoms. In addition to skills, I work to support individuals exploration of underlying causes leading to heightened experiences of anxiety or panic.

Depression can be a debilitating experience, whether it stems from a specific situation or is a more chronic challenge. Therapy can be a safe space to explore intense feelings, unhelpful thought patterns or life challenges that increase symptoms of depression. Trained in both skill based therapies (CBT/DBT) as well as somatic (body-focused) therapy, we can find a path forward to address the depression symptoms and increase life satisfaction.

I work from a person-centered orientation, which means I believe that YOU, the client, is the expert on your own life and experiences. My job is to meet you where you are at without judgement and with kindness and unconditional support while we work together to address the challenges in your life and create the change you hope to see.

Addiction counseling encompasses a range of approaches aimed at supporting individuals on their path to recovery. My training and perspective are grounded in the disease model of addiction, which provides insight into the mechanisms that drive addictive behaviors. I incorporate tools like motivational interviewing to assess readiness for change, harm reduction strategies, and skill-based therapies that promote healthy coping mechanisms.

DBT is a skill based therapy used to increase mindful awareness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation and distress tolerance through use of specific skills and acceptance of current reality while also acknowledging need for change. DBT can support reduction of mental health symptoms, aid in addiction recovery and be an effective tool to manage intense emotions or life stressors.
