With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in guiding and supporting individuals as they navigate complex relationship issues. Many are family members who have loved ones that struggle with addiction. I help people resolve unhealed emotions and break patterns they’ve been stuck in so they can grow in setting limits, building confidence, and feeling better.
Pulling from my education, and experience, I help people replace isolation and loneliness with connection and hope. There are two main methods I use to help clients; I teach them how to identify errors in their thinking through CBT and help them to recognize obstacles to progress through ACT so my clients can get back on track. I am also trained in EMDR which has shown to make a big difference for both trauma survivors and for relief from challenging memories. We all need strategies to focus on what matters most to us. Through the therapeutic process, I help family members diffuse intense emotions with their loved ones using mindfulness exercises. With practical communication skills and a plan for next steps, families and couples experience hope, knowing that things can change for the better.
I create a safe and comfortable space for you to share openly. During the initial consultation, I gather information and devise the best ways to help. Because I believe knowledge is power, my intention is to help you understand your presenting concerns or addiction. In the following steps, I collaborate with you on new ways of coping, communication, and connecting in relationships. I aim to help you find purpose and belonging in the world, to discover personal strengths, and look forward to your life.
