What's My Approach to Therapy?

A safe, confidential space for healing and recovery.

Life can be challenging, especially when you’re carrying the additional weight of anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma. You deserve a place where you can speak freely, without judgment, and begin reclaiming your life.
I’m a licensed psychologist specializing in:

• Drug addiction and recovery
• Gambling and financial stress
• Compulsive sexual behaviors and pornography addiction
• Military veteran mental health
• Trauma and posttraumatic stress (PTSD) treatment

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or someone you care about, you’re in the right place.

You are not alone. Recovery and healing are possible.
