Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.

I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.

What therapy with me feels like:

Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold

A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet

Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it

Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable

I blend humor, compassion, and practical skills from CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. I help clients make sense of complicated symptoms, break stuck patterns, and build tools that actually work in real life—not just in a workbook. I understand how depression, substance use, and trauma can interact and feed into each other, and I tailor treatment to the unique ways those pieces show up for you.

They appreciate that I’m straightforward without being harsh, empathetic without pitying, and willing to sit with the heavy stuff without pretending everything’s fine. I’m not here to fix you—I’m here to help you understand yourself, stay afloat during the hard moments, and build a life that feels more stable and more yours.

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or feel like you’ve tried everything, you’re in the right place. We’ll take it one step at a time—with honesty, a little humor, and a lot of heart.
