Great to meet you!

Are you someone who is in recovery, coping with a loved one's addiction (such as being an Adult Child of an Alcoholic or from a dysfunctional family), trying to manage codependency, anxious or depressed, or navigating life transitions like retirement or entering the workforce after college? If so, I’m here to support you.

I believe each person holds the key to their own mental and emotional well-being. Sometimes, we just need guidance to unlock it—especially during life’s more difficult moments. That’s where I come in. I invite you to contact me for a free consultation.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with individuals affected by addiction—either directly or through family history—as well as those dealing with mood disorders and major life changes. My approach is positive, supportive, and comprehensive. Together, we’ll work toward lasting healing, personal growth, deeper self-understanding, and a broader perspective on life.

What you can expect from me

Clients often say they feel a sense of relief and clarity after just one session. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on building trust and exploring new perspectives. As we work together, you’ll develop tools to face challenges with confidence and experience a growing sense of empowerment and freedom.
