Great to meet you!

I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.

My approach to therapy

Specializing in trauma-informed therapy and addiction recovery, I help connect past experiences to current patterns while building practical, personalized coping strategies. Support is also provided for anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, with a focus on meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you’re not sure where to begin. That’s okay. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan—just a sense that something needs to change. If you’re ready to take that first step, you don’t have to do it alone.
