Great to meet you!

I provide counseling for individuals and families who are facing many forms of conflict including addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and significant life transitions. I understand that seeking support often comes at a time when life feels overwhelming or uncertain, and my priority is to offer a compassionate, steady place to work through these challenges. Together we take the time you need to explore what brought you here and what you're hoping to change. Your goals - whether they involve healing from loss, breaking patterns related to addiction, or navigating a difficult transition - will guide the direction of our sessions.

My approach to therapy

My role is to walk alongside you, helping you identify what matters most, clarifying the steps toward purpose driven change, and creating a plan that feels manageable and personal to your situation. Counseling is a collaborative process, and together we will work toward greater clarity, balance, and resilience.

What you can expect from me

My background allows me to provide informed, compassionate, and evidence-based care to help you move toward stability, healing, and meaningful change. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported, encouraged, and hopeful.
