Welcome!

​

If you’re here, you may be wondering if I am the right therapist for you, so I’ll tell you a little about what I do. I work with a wide range of mental wellness issues, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and eating disorders. But, the main focus of my practice is on alcohol moderation, trauma, and existential concerns.

 

Alcohol moderation is for anyone who is concerned about how much they are drinking, or the repercussions of drinking, but does not feel that the label “alcoholic” fits them. I have spent years helping people change their relationship with alcohol so that they can drink mindfully and be in control. For more information, please visit the Mindful Drinking page.

 

Trauma is any maladaptive response you are having in the present, that is being caused by experiences in the past. We can’t change the past, but we can change the way you think, feel, and react in the present, so that your past is no longer having a negative impact on your present. In order to do this, I use a highly effective, evidence-based intervention called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

 

Existential concerns are the issues that anyone may experience as a result of being a human. Even if someone does not meet the criteria for a mental health diagnosis, or that diagnosis has been treated, there are struggles that people have experienced since the dawn of time. Finding meaning, coping with death and loss, questions about freedom and responsibility, identifying and living by one’s own values and life philosophy. This can help anyone who seems to be doing well in life, has things under control, but wonders if there is more to life or struggles to feel happy.
