Rewrite Your Story. Real Support for Real Change.
Welcome
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or emotional burnout, feeling stuck in the same exhausting cycles can leave you completely drained. When your nervous system is running hot, we slow things down, make sense of what is really going on, and build a practical plan designed for your actual life.
With over 20 years in addiction and mental health—and my own personal journey through these same struggles—I know firsthand how vital a truly non-judgmental space is. You will find no shame, guilt, or rigid expectations here. Just honest conversation, genuine understanding, and steady guidance to help you move forward.
How We Work Together:
• Real lived experience, grounded in two decades of clinical work and personal understanding.
• A private, zero-judgment space—free of shame or guilt.
• Practical next steps to help you gain control, heal, and rebuild.

WHAT WE WORK ON
Most people don’t walk in with just one isolated issue. It is usually a compounding cycle: stress escalates, sleep drops off, thoughts get darker, emotions spike, and coping mechanisms become unhelpful. My goal is to help you break down that cycle and rebuild—step by step.
Primary Focus Areas:
Addiction & Relapse Prevention: Substance use, behavioral patterns, and long-term recovery support.
Anxiety & Panic: Chronic worry, social anxiety, and nervous system overload.
Trauma & PTSD: Unresolved past experiences and emotional triggers.
ADHD & Executive Functioning: Time management, focus, organization, and burnout.
Depression & Burnout: Low energy, loss of motivation, and emotional exhaustion.
Emotional Regulation: Managing intense mood swings, anger, and feeling overwhelmed.
Life Transitions: Stress management through major career, relationship, or personal changes.
HOW I WORK
Therapy should be practical, grounded, and tailored specifically to you. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, sessions integrate proven, evidence-based methods depending on what you need most:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & DBT-Informed Skills: To reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build real-time coping tools.
Motivational Interviewing: To help you find clarity and personal motivation for lasting change.
Trauma-Informed Modalities (EMDR & Somatic Tapping): To process underlying distress and soothe an overactive nervous system.
Every session is focused on three simple questions: What is happening? Why is it happening? What can you do next?
Therapy does not stop when the session ends. Real life happens in the space between appointments—when stress spikes, cravings hit, anxiety starts building, or old patterns begin taking over.
I built actually iCAN as a free, practical support tool to help people stay connected to their goals between sessions. It is designed for clients and people working on recovery, anxiety, emotional health, and healthier routines who want useful support in the moments life gets loud.
Inside the app:
Secure messaging: Established counseling clients can send a check-in, update, or insight while it is still fresh. Messages are not monitored continuously and are not for emergencies.
AI-guided reflection: Use actually iCAN AI for grounding ideas, perspective, reflection, and help finding the right tool in the app. It supports reflection—it does not replace counseling, diagnosis, crisis care, or clinical judgment.
Guided tools and workbooks: Practical exercises and structured programs for anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, recovery, relapse prevention, nervous-system regulation, and everyday life stress.
Private journaling: Write things out privately, then choose whether to share a journal entry or insight for discussion in counseling.
Assessments and reflection: Complete selected self-guided assessments and receive clear, non-diagnostic reflection that can help organize what may be worth discussing further.
Progress support: Use practical tools to build routines, track goals, and keep moving forward one small step at a time.
Your information is protected through secure sign-in, therapist multi-factor authentication, encrypted cloud services, and access controls. Notifications never display private message or assessment details. actually iCAN is configured to support HIPAA-compliant use within my solo practice.
Counseling remains the foundation of the work. actually iCAN is a free support tool for the space between sessions—it is not a substitute for emergency services, medical care, or professional counseling.
