Services & Specialties
Life requires flexibility:
I am currently meeting with clients both in-person and virtually.
Adolescence
Transitioning from childhood to adulthood is rarely easy. A changing body, navigating new social worlds, and questioning one’s identity are only a few of the pressures from this phase of life.
I work with teens who are overwhelmed with anxiety, feeling depressed, and confused about how to understand and be themselves, navigate social dynamics, and grow up in today’s chaotic world.
Substance use / Addiction / Recovery
Addiction can seem frightening, but it doesn’t have to be if we approach it with a wide enough lens.
Most people focus on substance use/abuse as the main problem, but using is often an earnest attempt to solve the core problem. When we dig a little deeper, we can discover that some pain is often at the heart of addiction: trauma, shame, anxiety, depression, or complex grief.
Using a harm-reduction, family systems, and trauma-informed approach, I work with adults, teens, and families to uncover the core issue of addiction. My approach supports reducing unhealthy patterns, improving overall functioning and relationships, and sustaining change.
Depression / Complex Grief
Overwhelming sadness and anger are signs that something deeper needs attention. While loss comes in many forms and is a normal part of life, feeling significantly down and isolated from oneself and others can be a sign it would be good to seek help.
