Do you struggle with treating yourself kindly and with compassion? Do you have concerns in balancing your daily life stressors? Are you having worries about using substances more than you should? In our world today it is easy to become overwhelmed, de-sensitized, and set ourselves on auto-pilot just to survive. With guidance, therapy can help you gain more awareness of your emotional and mental states, learn to navigate interpersonal conflicts, and learn coping skills to facilitate meaningful change and progress. I enjoy using CBT, DBT, Harm Reduction, and Motivational Interviewing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with my Substance Abuse Counselor - In Training (SAC-IT) license while working towards my Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC).

My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning that we are working together to meet your needs and find what works best for you. Aside from talk therapy, I also like to utilize worksheets and self reflective journal exercises if interested.

I believe in harm reduction and working together to learn skills, facilitate awareness, and create balance. I take a genuine, compassionate, and realistic approach to each person.
