Road Trip

"What I find most fulfilling is helping people spark meaningful change in their lives."

Helping people create fulfilling, joyful lives inspires my work every day. My specializations include:

Addiction & Recovery
 

 

I help clients navigate the complexities of addiction and recovery, addressing substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and the emotional struggles that often accompany them. Together, we’ll identify underlying causes, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and create a sustainable path to recovery.

Adolescents in Crisis

 

I specialize in supporting teens through critical life challenges, including behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, and identity struggles. My approach fosters resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, helping adolescents build confidence and find stability during difficult times.  

Grief & Loss

 

Grief is a deeply personal journey, and I provide compassionate support to help clients process the pain of loss—whether it’s the death of a loved one, a relationship ending, or another life-altering event. Together, we’ll work toward healing, acceptance, and finding meaning in life after loss.  

Relationality

 

Relationships are at the core of our lives, and I help clients navigate the complexities of relational dynamics—whether it’s with a partner, family member, or themselves. By fostering communication, trust, and self-awareness, I guide clients toward building stronger, healthier connections.

My Expertise

I specialize in emotional intelligence, addiction recovery, relationship coaching, and grief support. I work with clients to address personal struggles, relationship dynamics, and challenges related to anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is holistic, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a compassionate, client-centered perspective. 

My Story

My journey into therapy is deeply personal and shaped by many experiences. As a troubled teen, I made poor choices—lying, stealing, and ultimately landing myself in jail. But these hardships were formative, leading me to the realization that change was possible. After serving in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineer and volunteering as an EMT in the Middle East, I pursued a career in law before I truly found my calling in therapy.  The most pivotal moment in my life was the sudden death of my girlfriend, following years of her struggle with alcoholism. It was therapy that helped me heal through this profound loss and move forward, and it was that experience that inspired me to help others. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I dedicate my work to guiding others toward healing and personal growth.  

Why I Do This Work

Having experienced the challenges of addiction, grief, and emotional turmoil firsthand, I’m deeply committed to helping others find their way through life’s toughest moments. I know what it’s like to feel lost, but I also know that healing is possible. My mission is to support you in reclaiming your emotional power, setting meaningful goals, and creating the life you deserve.
