MY CLIENTS
Are you struggling with the impact of trauma on your relationships? Is addiction interfering with your ability to reconnect with your partner—whether the betrayal comes from gambling, substances, spending, or screens? Trauma has a way of creating patterns of disconnection, and maybe you’re ready to break them. Do you feel different and lonely, even surrounded by friends—yearning for intimacy you can’t quite reach?
Maybe you’re tired of feeling like your emotions and behaviors are dictated by someone else’s. Maybe you’ve lost trust in yourself—in your ability to say no, to choose a partner, to simply show up to your own life.
If you’re ready to stop being a chameleon and find out who you actually are, I’d love to help.

WHAT I OFFER
I offer individual and relationship therapy focused on healing from the impacts of addiction and trauma. My approach is trauma-informed, somatically-integrated, client-centered, and collaborative—because I believe you’re the expert on your own life, and my job is to walk alongside you, not ahead of you. I draw on both bottom-up and top-down methods, working with your body’s nervous system responses as much as your thoughts, emotions, and the stories you carry about yourself. Healing isn’t just about insight, it’s about coming home to yourself, and finding steadier, more secure ways of being in relationship with the people you love.
❋ COUPLES THERAPY
Addiction and trauma don’t just affect individuals, they create unique, severe strain on our relationships. It can feel like a wall between you, a major betrayal, or like you don’t know where to begin to trust again. Maybe you’re trying to repair your relationship after finding abstinence, but aren’t sure where to begin in order to rebuild. Maybe you’re unable to let go of the vigilance of your partner, causing strain on you both.
Couples therapy offers a structured, supportive space to heal from betrayal, rebuild trust, and strengthen the foundation of your relationship. I help partners work together to find where they’re missing one another, to move toward one another, and create deeper emotional intimacy.
❋ FAMILY THERAPY
When addiction or trauma enters a family, it doesn’t stay contained to one person. It moves through the whole system, shaping how people communicate, who takes on what role, and what goes unspoken. Over time, predictable patterns emerge that can feel impossible to change from the inside.
These patterns aren’t anyone’s fault. They develop because families are doing their best to manage pain with the tools they have. But they can change, and they change most effectively when the whole family is part of the process.
I draw on evidence-based approaches utilized specifically for families navigating addiction, trauma, and long-standing relational patterns.
❋ INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Painful experiences leave us feeling unsafe, disconnected, out of control. We develop strategies–substances, gambling, people-pleasing, avoidance–to manage that pain and try to guard from future pain. The shame and consequences of those patterns can become traumatic in their own right. They bring temporary relief, but create new problems over time.
Maybe emotionally absent or immature parents led you to get value from your romantic relationships, or your jobs. Maybe you become flooded with anxiety when your mom calls, and struggle to maintain boundaries with your family, afraid of the consequences.
I offer a space that’s entirely yours to slow down, get in touch with what’s underneath those patterns, and begin to move toward a life you want.
❋ DISCERNMENT COUNSELING
Not every couple who comes to therapy is sure they want to stay together, and that uncertainty deserves its own kind of support. Discernment counseling is a brief, structured process for couples where one or both partners are ambivalent about the future of the relationship. Rather than jumping into couples therapy before that question is resolved, it creates space to gain clarity on what direction the relationship should take.
In the context of addiction and trauma, this ambivalence is especially common. Discernment counseling doesn’t push couples toward any particular outcome, it helps each person arrive at a decision they feel confident in, whether that's committing to repair, separating with clarity, or simply taking more time to decide.
❋ GROUP THERAPY
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is walk into a room of people who get it. I offer three groups:
Maintenance Mode
You’ve been abstinent from problem gambling, but still seek a regular recovery touchpoint in order to maintain abstinence. This group offers a judgment-free space to explore the ups and downs of ongoing recovery, share honestly with others who understand, and continue to build that sustainable path of recovery.
Coming Home
Codependency develops when we lose ourselves in the needs, moods, or recovery of someone else. This group helps members recognize those patterns, reconnect with their own needs and boundaries, and build relationships—including the one with themselves—that are rooted in security rather than fear.
Seeking Safety for Men
Men are rarely given space to talk honestly about pain, fear, or the experiences that have shaped them. This group offers exactly that: a structured, confidential environment where men can learn and discuss tools for managing the impacts of trauma & addiction while creating connections with others.
