Great to meet you!

My greatest passion is helping others make lasting change their lives. My approach draws both on my professional and personal experiences with addiction, trauma, first responders, relationships and more. As a Master's level clinical social worker, I have almost a decade of experience in community based mental health. My primary areas of experience are addiction therapy and trauma.

My approach to therapy

No issues are too small, and I have experience with most common concerns and populations. We begin with getting to know who you and building trust. As this happens, I will begin to challenge your thoughts and actions, giving you the tools to change.

What you can expect from me

By creating a space and relationship where you feel safe, valued, and respected, we can then work together to overcome the challenges of today and build resiliency for the challenges yet to come. Therapy can be a truly transformative experience, when it is built on human connection and dedication to change.
