Great to meet you!

"I am passionate about what I do! With over 25 years in the mental health field and 7 years as a therapist, I specialize in working with adults 18 and up, focusing on addictions, PTSD, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and deviant sexual behavior. I value working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. Since childhood, I’ve always rooted for the underdog—the person everyone doubted but who had the strength to persevere. I strive to create a safe, supportive space for growth."

A bit about my approach to therapy

"One of my daily mantras is, 'Seek to understand, not to blame.' I carry this philosophy into my practice, creating a nonjudgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions. While I strive to provide honest, straightforward feedback, I am committed to actively listening and supporting you every step of the way."

What you can expect from our first session

"You can count on me to challenge you if you're someone who thinks, 'I've tried that before, and it didn’t work.' Together, we'll explore new perspectives, embrace growth, and reevaluate how you view the world around you."
