welcome to

goldenheart

you’ve reached a space to
grow where you’re planted.

To its left is a black metal plant stand with multiple potted plants, illuminated by a lamp. On the wall, there is a modern black clock with a minimal design and hanging pendulum.

I specialize in working with individuals who are ready for radical and holistic change in their lives. I work with adults struggling with substance use and behavioral addictions, eating disorders, childhood and recent trauma, and serious mental health diagnoses such as psychosis and personality disorders.

I offer a range of services, including individual and couples psychotherapy, psychodiagnostic evaluations, substance use and eating disorder assessments, and psychoeducational consultations for families of those struggling with addiction and/or serious mental illness. 

Many of the areas that I specialize in treating have common themes of feeling stuck, lost, and hopeless. Often, these emotions can trap us in feelings of overwhelm, and wondering how we can break the cycle and reclaim our lives.

That’s where I hope to help.

Using scientific, evidence-based therapy, I work with clients to meet them where they’re at. I use multimodal therapeutic approaches to find the best fit that caters to individual success, and I challenge clients to do the hard work, all with genuine empathy and compassion for how hard it actually is.

Does this sound like something you’re looking for?

We should talk.

the goldenheart mission.

Goldenheart was born of the love of my dog.

In my recovery journey, there were times I would convince myself that I would never truly know what it was like to be healthy, whole, or hopeful again. This all changed when my Golden Retriever, Finn, came into my life. Each time I felt a sense of hopelessness, I would look to him and feel nothing but unbridled love and support. He was and is my biggest cheerleader, supporter, and best friend. No matter how dark the days, there was always a ray of light.

Once I committed to my recovery, I knew that it wasn’t Finn’s job to make me want to get better: It was my own story to write and my life to reclaim.

I began viewing my eating disorder recovery from an addictions-focused lens, and I realized that so much of what could help was right there in these incredible recovery-focused approaches—ways to reclaim my life from systemic trauma, perfectionism, negative self-narrative, and the cyclical pattern of self-abuse.

Thus, the Goldenheart model was born.

I have been treating clients with a unique perspective on recovery-focused approaches that create a nourishing space where you will be challenged, pushed, and encouraged to do the hard things… but most of all, you will be met with a genuine desire to see improvement in your life.

I’m a hard-ass for your mental health.
But always with a golden heart.
