Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate addiction, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic theory.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to balance structure with empathy. I’m here to help you feel safe, understood, and empowered—whether you’re seeking immediate relief, deeper insight, or long-term change. I believe therapy should be purposeful and collaborative, with clear goals and measurable progress.

I specialize in working with individuals who are ready to engage in meaningful work—people who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, but are open to exploring new perspectives and building lasting resilience. If that sounds like you, I’d be honored to support your journey.

My approach to therapy

I offer therapy that is structured, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic theory—which I integrate based on your goals, strengths, and challenges.

Our sessions begin by building a strong therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. From there, we’ll identify clear, actionable goals and begin working toward both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

I focus on helping you gain insight into the patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while equipping you with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're seeking recovery, emotional clarity, or personal growth, I’ll walk alongside you with clinical expertise and unwavering support.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is designed to be welcoming, focused, and collaborative. We’ll begin by exploring what brings you to therapy—whether it’s a specific concern, a life transition, or a desire for personal growth. I’ll ask questions to better understand your history, current challenges, and goals, always at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

This initial meeting is also about building trust. You’ll have space to share what feels most important, ask questions, and begin shaping a treatment plan that reflects your needs and values. I’ll outline how therapy works, what you can expect moving forward, and how we’ll measure progress together.

By the end of our first session, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction, a plan for next steps, and the reassurance that you’re not navigating this alone.
