Great to meet you!

A world filled with so much pressure to be perfect can be emotionally draining. What does it mean to be our happiest self? I want to create a warm environment where you feel comfortable to be your true self while growing through life.

By day, I serve as a clinical supervisor, supporting other therapists and ensuring quality care. By night, I continue my passion for direct client work through outpatient therapy. This dual role keeps me grounded, connected, and constantly growing—bringing both clinical depth and real-world perspective to every session.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in treating addictive behaviors and co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and ADHD. I have extensive experience working in both mental health and substance use treatment settings, supporting adults and adolescents across a wide range of life experiences.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and individualized. I draw from multiple evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness/Humanistic approaches. This flexibility allows me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, goals, and pace.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or navigating a major transition, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on beneath the surface and develop practical tools for change. You don’t have to process this alone—let’s talk.
