I’ve recently been working with addicts that have lost hope. Strung out and hurting, their first thought, before eating food, going to work or finding love is searching for their next fix. What they don’t know is that they are stuck in this cycle not because they are weak people, have addictive personalities or have no willpower, but because, at the time, drugs and alcohol topped the list of their coping skills. If this sounds like you, together, we can find new ways to cope with all of the issues life can throw your way. And you will get better.

I’ll work with you to start a new life. It begins by finding peace in stillness, where you quiet your mind and listen to that still small voice in your heart. From there, you'll learn to accept yourself where you are, right here and right now, realizing that thoughts are just thoughts, resulting in you having the power to make choices about your own life. You'll learn new problem-solving skills, and after a while, you'll remember that you are marvelous, deserving and one of a kind. You are worth it.

We'll also spend time looking at your dependent behavior to determine where it came from. It may be rooted in past trauma, fear, depression, or anxiety about something specific. I'll help you define that root cause and together we'll work our way through it. Your dependency was the answer to some kind of pain you endured, and I have the tools and desire to work with you to find it.

Together, we can put an end to old behaviors controlling how you live your life today. You can have the life you've always wanted with coping skills that work for you instead of against you.

I work with all ages… young people coming out, disapproving families, and adults who just want to live the life that feels right to them. No matter what age, gender or circumstance, all of my clients benefit greatly from talking about their journeys, having their stories relayed back with greater clarity and working together to move their lives forward.

I’ll listen to you with an open mind and challenge you to look at the hard things facing you. When it comes to communicating your thoughts and ideas, everything is on the table. Society generally feels awkward talking about some things… like sex… but, those difficult to talk about areas are the most important to shine a light on, and we will - whether you're in a long term, monogamous marriage, in a polyamorous or open relationship, or happily single and asexual.

I’m all about looking wherever we need to look to find answers and create solutions. It’s my job to help you become empowered to live your best life - to get past what’s stopped you from doing it so far and finally just live it.

It begins by looking at your relationship as having three interconnected parts - you, your partner, and the relationship itself. We’ll talk about how doing things for your partner is also doing things for the relationship. You’ll learn to communicate your needs clearly and proudly. And we’ll explore how supporting each other’s individual needs only make your relationship stronger.

We’ll figure out what’s worth an argument and what’s not… and we’ll create a “toolkit” to help you build a more supportive, mutually respectful relationship. Again, nothing will be left unsaid - it’s the only way to dig our way down to the source of our challenges and solve them.

I’m not about band-aids on symptoms - I’m all about discovering the root cause of your behaviors and challenges and working from there.
