Depression has a way of narrowing your world and making it hard to imagine things ever feeling different. I work from a solution-focused lens, helping you identify moments when depression feels less heavy and building deliberately on those exceptions toward a future that feels more like you. For clients where traditional approaches haven't produced lasting relief, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

The interaction of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors often creates or perpetuates emotional pain and distress. It frequently isn't what happens to us that affects us nearly so much as what we believe about what happens to us. By learning to identify, challenge, and replace skewed assumptions, unhelpful self-talk, and distorted thinking patterns, we can meaningfully improve mood, outlook, and overall functioning. CBT is structured and goal-directed, making it a natural complement to SFBT.

I approach addiction as something that often began as a coping strategy (a desperate attempt to numb pain caused by others, underlying mental health concerns, or life circumstances) that over time became self-reinforcing and hard to escape. Each person's experience of addiction is unique, and lasting recovery requires understanding the core issues creating and sustaining it rather than simply managing symptoms. My goal is to help you build a life where the original pain no longer leading

A key tenet of SFBT is that you are the expert on your own life (having lived it since Day 1, you will always know better than I do what fits you and what won't). My role isn't to dispense advice or tell you how to live, but to collaborate with you in uncovering what's already working, building on your existing strengths, and moving deliberately toward the future you actually want. Change doesn't require endlessly revisiting what went wrong; we can build on what's already right.

I believe addiction is the product of a desperate desire to numb pain caused by trauma, underlying mental health concerns, or life circumstances generally. I approach addiction as something that started as a coping strategy of sorts that ultimately turned into a self-reinforcing nightmare. Each individual's experience of addiction is different, and treatment requires diving into core/foundational issues creating and reinforcing the addiction rather than simply addressing the symptoms.

I specialize in trauma recovery, holding certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My work integrates evidence-based approaches (including solution-focused and trauma-informed modalities) to help clients move from survival to meaningful living. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as an innovative option for clients where traditional approaches have fallen short, providing a deeper pathway for processing deeply rooted trauma and building lasting resilience.
