How I Can Help You
Addiction Recovery
Alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, food-addiction can take many forms, but change is always possible. My work is grounded in both professional and academic experience in addiction neuroscience. Whether you’re just starting to question your use or are ready for full recovery, I will tailor your therapy to your needs.
Depression & Low Mood
Depression distorts reality and drains motivation. We’ll explore what’s weighing you down and focus on achievable steps that bring relief, clarity, and purpose.
Trauma & PTSD
Traumatic experiences can quietly shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. My approach helps you understand how trauma affects your mind and body, and gently guides you toward healing—at your own pace.
Low Motivation
Feeling stuck or disconnected from your goals? Whether it’s burnout, addiction recovery, or post-trauma fatigue, I help clients rebuild motivation and reconnect with meaning in their lives.
Anxiety
When life feels overwhelming, my therapy offers tools to manage emotions, break negative cycles, and regain calm. Together, we’ll build coping skills that work in real life—not just in theory.
Stress
Stress can be defined as having uncontrollable levels of negative emotions. Being able to manage the problems and the emotions that come with stress is an important part of my therapy sessions.
