I am passionate about helping people improve their lives and well-being. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Northwest Nazarene University and am a certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. My professional background includes working with refugees, substance use disorders, supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, anger management and schizophrenia.
My approach is holistic, integrating physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being while honoring each client’s values and faith. I specialize in trauma treatment—including childhood, combat, military sexual trauma, and sexual abuse—and also address addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. I create a safe, supportive environment and use evidence-based practices tailored to individual needs, helping clients process difficult experiences and develop strategies for lasting change.
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and compassionate environment where you are encouraged to share your story at your own pace. We will discuss your concerns, goals, and any spiritual or religious perspectives important to your healing. Together, we will begin to develop a personalized treatment plan. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and supported as we start your journey toward wellness.
