What I Specialize In
Addictions Counseling
Making your first steps away from substances can be a tall order. Although it might be helping in the short term, you’re noticing that this relationship you have with it is eating away at other meaningful areas of your life or preventing you from become the person you know you already are.
Whether you’re starting from square one or returning to brave the arena once more, I aim to help increase my clients awareness of the root causes of their addiction, learn the ropes to managing a sober lifestyle, and eventually thrive within it.
Trauma Recovery and EMDR
Whether it’s one specific event or a combination of experiences throughout your lifetime, the impacts of trauma run deep. Perhaps you have difficulty trusting others, have a need to keep other people happy, lose control in your anger, or just simply find yourself repeating the same unhelpful patterns over and over again.
My aim to create a safe, structured, and impactful experience where my clients can uncover, meet with, and truly understand how their past experiences are showing up in their lives today with acceptance and self-compassion.
Men’s Counseling
It’s clear in my work that men are faced with a specific challenge in taking care of themselves. Role obligations to work or family rob them of time and energy. Lack of modeling or even punishment for showing anything other than anger or happiness makes it difficult for men to identify and work with some really tough - yet necessary - emotions. Seeking help can be labeled as weak, and many struggle in knowing who they would be safe to confide in.
My practice offers safe harbor for the men who wish to embark on the difficult journey of learning to know themselves.
