Great to meet you!

If you’re struggling with addiction, depression, or anxiety, I understand how overwhelming and lonely it can feel. I’ve faced my own battles with recovery and mental health challenges, building a life worth living through resilience and hope. What sets me apart is this lived experience, paired with professional training. I offer a compassionate, practical approach to help you heal, grow, and reclaim your strength in a safe, understanding space.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in addiction, depression, and anxiety, using evidence-based methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. My client-centered approach adapts to your unique needs, providing holistic support that empowers you to navigate challenges with confidence and clarity.
