About

I am passionate about helping people break free from addictive and compulsive behaviors. My clients include adults of all ages, as well as older adolescents, and my professional focus is on self-destructive behavior, binge eating, drug and alcohol use, and sexual compulsivity. I understand the pain and hopelessness that comes from repeating the same mistakes. It can feel like you are helpless in this cycle. Therapy empowers you with the truth that you are in control at all times, no matter how powerless you may feel. I will seek to thoroughly understand your experience and align your behavior with your core values and identity.

I draw upon a combination of therapeutic techniques to customize an approach that is slightly different for all of my clients. Grounded in my training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I seek to understand the root causes for addictive behavior while applying behavioral techniques to affect immediate, profound change.

It is a privilege to be trusted with your innermost thoughts and feelings; as such, I approach therapeutic relationships from a place of genuine care. If you suffer due to the problems I mentioned, or simply want a fresh perspective from a thoughtful and empathetic listener, I encourage you to reach out. I am currently welcoming new clients.
