My Approach to Helping
I work extensively with couples, supporting them in working through difficulties in communication, intimacy, discrepancy in desire, leading them to a closer, more emotional intimate relationship. I work with LGBTQ+ couples. I am kink and poly friendly.
I help people with substance use issues begin to live better lives. If you are overwhelmed by alcohol or drug use, including opioid addiction or marijuana overuse, and it is creating problems for you in your life, I can help you begin to address these problems and find a way out of the pain and despair. I will provide you with a safe environment, free from judgment, to deal with your substance use issues. I help with these issues, whether you want to quit completely or cut down and control your drinking or use. If you are already in recovery, I will respect and support your efforts as you participate in therapy. I am experienced and well-versed in the 12-Step recovery model of recovery.
In addition to substance use issues, I help people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and crisis. I want to help you ease your pain and the difficulty you are experiencing in your life. I believe a good therapeutic relationship, where you feel safe and heard, with the right caring professional is the cornerstone for healing.
