Great to meet you!

With over five years of experience in dual diagnosis, I specialize in providing structured, evidence-based therapy for individuals facing trauma, PTSD, and all forms of addiction, as well as couples navigating marriage and relationship challenges. My therapeutic approach is direct, solution-focused, and highly disciplined, ensuring our time together is purposeful and grounded in clear, actionable goals. I balance this rigorous structure with a sensitive, deeply empathetic understanding of the complex intersection between mental health and substance use. Together, we will cut through the noise to confront core issues, heal past wounds, and build practical strategies for lasting recovery and healthier connections. If you are ready for a focused, collaborative partner who is fully invested in your growth, I look forward to working with you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is direct, highly structured, and solution-focused, designed for individuals and couples who are ready to actively work toward meaningful change. With over five years of dedicated experience in dual diagnosis, I blend rigorous professional discipline with a sensitive, deep understanding of how trauma, PTSD, and addiction impact both the individual and their relationships.

We will not just talk about your problems; we will actively map out your recovery. Our sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, ensuring every conversation is purposeful and focused on cutting through the noise to reach the root issues. By combining clear behavioral strategies with an empathetic environment, I provide the structured accountability and clinical expertise you need to heal from past wounds, break destructive patterns, and build a sustainable, healthier future.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, clients can expect a focused, collaborative, and highly structured introduction

to our work together. We will skip the aimless small talk and dive directly into clarifying your immediate goals, assessing your history with mental health or addiction, and identifying the specific challenges you want to tackle. While my approach is direct and solution-oriented, this initial hour is also a safe, sensitive space where you can share your story without judgment. By the end of the session, we will have established a clear, actionable roadmap for your treatment, giving you a concrete understanding of how we will work as a team to achieve lasting recovery and healthier relationships.
