Great to meet you!

My specialty is working with individuals struggling with addictions and other patterns of behaviors that impact daily functioning. I work in the inpatient rehab setting as well as private practice, providing me with great experience to serve and support my clients.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize an eclectic and creative approach to counseling. I am able to blend techniques such as CBT, motivational interviewing, and DBT to help my clients achieve their goals.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we can build a life more in line with your true goals. I will provide a safe space and a comfy chair for you to teach me the story of you. Let’s take the journey together!
