Great to meet you!

I work with adults who feel stuck in painful patterns—whether that’s around intimacy, addiction, shame, or the impact of trauma. You might look like you have it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or afraid of being truly seen. In our work, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and gently untangle the beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you so you can move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and hopeful.

My approach to therapy

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist with over 15 years of experience in residential treatment centers, hospital settings, and private practice. My style is trauma‐informed, collaborative, and compassionate. I offer an extended 90‐minute first session so we have space to get to know each other, understand your story, and create a plan that fits your needs and pace.

What you can expect from me

If you’re ready to explore a different way forward—even if you’re nervous or unsure where to start—I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Once you schedule, I’ll send simple forms ahead of time so our first session can focus on you, not paperwork. You don’t have to sort this out alone; let’s take the next step together.
