Addictions Recovery Group
This weekly, long-term recovery group meets on Monday evenings for 75 minutes and is designed for individuals in active recovery from alcohol, drugs, or gambling. It provides a supportive, process-based environment where members actively participate to focus on their recovery journey. The group helps participants understand their patterns of addiction, cope with past challenges and trauma, and build healthier coping strategies.
Together, participants work toward building stronger relationships, enhancing personal growth, and creating meaningful change in their lives. With regular attendance and commitment, group members experience progress in their recovery and greater success in achieving their goals.
Couples Counseling
Relationships can be both rewarding and challenging, and every couple faces unique struggles. Using the evidence-based Gottman Method, I help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen emotional connection. Together, we work on understanding relationship dynamics, rebuilding trust, and fostering shared goals to strengthen your partnership.
Couples counseling provides a supportive space to address issues such as recurring arguments, emotional distance, or challenges like infidelity and stress. Whether you’re looking to repair your relationship, enhance intimacy, or navigate life transitions, therapy can help you create a stronger, healthier bond.
Sessions are tailored to meet your needs, with options for extended sessions to allow for deeper exploration and more focused work.
Individual Counseling
Life can bring challenges that feel overwhelming, whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating major life changes. Individual counseling provides a supportive and confidential space to explore these difficulties, gain new perspectives, and develop strategies to move forward with confidence.
As a psychologist, I tailor each session to your unique needs, using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, process past experiences, and empower you to create meaningful change in your life.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or personal growth, individual counseling offers the tools and support to help you thrive. Both in-person and virtual sessions are available to fit your schedule and preferences.
Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling, and Sex Addiction Recovery
Addictions can often make us feel as though we're losing control of our lives. With extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I offer compassionate support to help you find and sustain recovery. Whether an addiction stems from a pre-existing mental health issue or develops independently, we take a comprehensive approach to address both concerns simultaneously. Additionally, the impact of addiction extends to family members, who can greatly benefit from therapy for guidance and support throughout the recovery process.
Trauma can deeply impact your emotional well-being, but healing is possible. Through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I help individuals process and overcome traumatic experiences in a safe and effective way. EMDR is an evidence-based approach that can reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories, helping you regain control and find peace. Together, we can work toward healing and restoring balance in your life.
Whether you're coming in with your partner or working on relational skills independently, I offer support to improve communication and strengthen the relationships in your life. Together, we can develop strategies to enhance understanding, resolve conflicts, and build healthier connections, creating a more fulfilling relationship dynamic.
Overcoming Depression, Fear, and Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are common and often distressing emotions that many of us experience at different points in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, I can help you regain the motivation, perspective, and joy you may have lost, guiding you toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Make meaningful life adjustments to improve your mood, boost your energy levels, and enhance your overall quality of life. Through personalized, evidence-based treatment, I can help you regain balance, find greater fulfillment, and develop effective coping strategies tailored to your unique needs.
With extensive experience working with veterans and police officers, I understand the unique challenges faced by this population. My familiarity with their culture and experiences allows me to provide tailored support, addressing a wide range of needs. I am here to help navigate the complexities of the system, offering guidance and care to ensure they receive the support they deserve.
