Counseling for Chronic Pain, Substance Use, Emotional Challenges, and Life Changes

Helping clients navigate the physical, emotional, and relational impact of pain, stress, and transitions with compassion and evidence-based care.

My Approach

Every person’s story is different, so I work with you to find the approach that fits your goals and circumstances. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and person-centered counseling, all through the lens of attachment theory. This means we will explore how your experiences and patterns of connection influence the way you handle challenges, whether those challenges involve health, work, relationships, or major life transitions. We will use insight, practical strategies, and a supportive environment to help you move forward.

Areas of Focus

Chronic Pain
Exploring the emotional, relational, and daily challenges of living with pain while building tools for resilience and improved quality of life.

Substance Use
Providing nonjudgmental support for reducing or stopping alcohol, prescription medication, or other substances, while addressing the underlying reasons for use.

Emotional Challenges
Helping you manage anxiety, depression, and stress with practical strategies and deeper insight into your thoughts and behavior patterns.

Life Changes
Supporting you through significant transitions such as career shifts, workplace stress, relationship changes, health adjustments, or grieving the loss of someone important, with clarity, stability, and self-compassion.
