Great to meet you!

I hold a MA in Counseling and am a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 30 years of experience providing therapy to adults, couples, and families. My background includes extensive work in detoxification, rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, and family systems. I specialize in substance use disorders, stress, and relationship issues, and I work with clients navigating life transitions and ongoing stressors.

I bring both clinical depth and real-world experience to my work, having held leadership and direct care roles in hospital and outpatient settings. My goal is to provide a supportive, grounded space where clients can explore patterns, gain insight, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and individualized. I work with clients to understand patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that may be interfering with their well-being or relationships. Together, we focus on developing insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating realistic, sustainable goals. I emphasize a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, including trauma, addiction, and relational stress.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a thoughtful, grounded therapeutic space where your experiences are taken seriously and treated with care. I work collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals that reflect their values and needs. My role is to help you gain clarity, recognize your strengths, and move toward healthier patterns in your life and relationships.
