Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Holly. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor with experience supporting adults and adolescents navigating substance use, mental health concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and grounded in harm reduction, which means we'll work together to define goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. I strive to create a space where you can show up authentically, feel understood, and make lasting changes at your own pace.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I use trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and strengths-based approaches to help clients explore challenges, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and empowered to move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll identify your goals and build on the strengths you already have.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what's bringing you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, background, strengths, and goals so we can begin developing a plan that feels supportive and realistic. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can share openly and feel heard. By the end of the session, we'll have a better understanding of what you want from therapy and the next steps toward achieving those goals.
