About My Clients

If you have never been to treatment and are looking for help and support to navigate your desire to stop using substances, or even just take a look at it, I'm here to help. If you've been to treatment several times and need support to figure out what is missing from your long term recovery plan I would love to help you. You might be anxious and depressed, struggling to stay in the present moment, or stay motivated in your life. You can have the life you desire, and I can help you achieve it!

My Background and Approach

It is my passion to integrate scientific and holistic practices to help you heal mind, body and spirit. We use evidenced based practices including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Yoga practices to find just the right combination for you to find the most relief. We individualize treatment together as you are the expert on you. I am here to guide you and walk along side you in the process of becoming the you that you truly are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has the capacity within them to heal and become their most authentic selves. All of our unhealthy coping skills, thoughts and behaviors served us at one time, and may have even protected us. It is when they are no longer serving us that it's time to find new ones. Sometimes we just need someone to help us have hope and believe that change is possible, and maybe support us in directions that might be helpful. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that we work on together to determine what is most effective for you. I strongly believe that the philosophy and physical practice of yoga can be a large part of recovery and the human experience. "The issues are in the tissues" and in talk therapy alone we can miss the traumas that live in our bodies. This does not mean you will "bend like a pretzel" because most of us can't do that, but simple breathing practices and movements tailored to your body and your needs can be the missing link in your recovery.
