Great to meet you!

I have extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My clinical expertise includes supporting individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, as well as those experiencing PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs, helping them build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailoring each approach to meet the unique needs and goals of my clients. By integrating these proven therapeutic modalities, I help clients develop practical coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and create lasting, meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

I am committed to creating a safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey. My goal is to foster a collaborative relationship that empowers clients to build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, develop resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
