Are you facing a life transition, mental health challenge, or addiction struggle that feels overwhelming to navigate on your own?

You're not alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals find stability, clarity, and hope during some of life's most difficult moments. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, major life changes, or the challenges of co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth can begin.

For more than 12 years, I've worked across mental health, addiction treatment, crisis intervention, medical settings, and community-based care. I've supported individuals and families through recovery, psychiatric crises, cognitive decline, and significant life transitions. These experiences have taught me that resilience exists even in the hardest circumstances—and that meaningful change is possible.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. Very little surprises me, and nothing is too complex to discuss. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create a path forward that feels achievable and authentic to you.

I believe therapy should feel human—not like a lecture or a checklist. My approach is grounded in genuine empathy, practical support, and deep respect for every person's story. Whether you're struggling with addiction, managing mental health symptoms, adjusting to a medical diagnosis, navigating grief or loss, or simply trying to make it through a difficult season, you'll find a nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are.

You don't need to have all the answers before starting therapy. Together, we'll make sense of the challenges you're facing, identify your strengths, and create a realistic path forward. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and less alone as you navigate change. When things feel overwhelming, I'll help you hold onto hope until you're ready to carry it yourself.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about what's been weighing on you, what challenges you're facing, and what you hope will be different in your life moving forward.
