• Anxiety

  People with anxiety may feel nervous or “on edge,” worry a lot, and avoid doing things that make their anxiety worse. They may have physical symptoms, such as a racing heart, upset stomach, and sweating or shaking. Many of these also often cause difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or both. I help people learn coping skills and other lifestyle habits that help them feel less anxious.

• ADHD

  People with ADHD may have inattentive symptoms, hyperactive symptoms, or both, and can also benefit from learning the CBT and DBT skills I provide, which often looks like what many refer to as "ADHD coaching." Whether you are new or established client wondering if you have ADHD, we can schedule an ADHD evaluation and talk about how therapy, coaching, and other types of support or treatment may benefit you.

• Drug Dependence / Abuse / Addiction

  People can become addicted to anything, not just drugs or alcohol. Someone may need help with their over-use or abuse of a substance or activity if it takes up so much of their time that they are neglecting, or are unable to fulfill, their other responsibilities. I help people achieve their goals to moderate or abstain from addictive substances or behaviors.

• Early Recovery

  Recovery is not just about getting sober or abstaining from addictive substances and activities, it is about establishing, and then maintaining, an overall healthy lifestyle, and learning how to handle triggers and setbacks. You can also be in recovery from an eating disorder, mental health issues, or a mental health crisis. I provide support to people in all of these types of recovery, as well as to people who are just beginning wanting to change, or who have had a recent relapse.
