Great to meet you!

I have an addiction certificate, and my undergraduate degree is in criminology. I’m also a Certified Master’s Addiction Professional. I’m especially passionate about supporting underserved individuals who are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, codependency, and related challenges.

My approach to therapy

I’m a direct therapist who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients make practical, meaningful progress. I also bring in psychoeducation so you can better understand what’s happening and why. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate other approaches to best support you.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I’ll get to know you by learning about your childhood, education, relationships, and goals for therapy. Most importantly, I want to understand what brings you in and what you hope to achieve so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you.
