Great to meet you!

After more than 40 years in social work, I’ve learned that people rarely come to therapy with just one thing going on. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, relationship struggles, or a major life transition, while also trying to keep up with everything else life requires. My experience includes working as a mental health and substance use therapist, ACT advocate, case manager, administrator, and supervisor. I bring that broad perspective into therapy with warmth, honesty, and a genuine belief that change is possible, even when you’re not sure where to begin.

My approach to therapy

I meet each person where they are and tailor our work to what they need. My years working in mental health, substance use, and community-based settings have taught me to look beyond the immediate problem and understand the bigger picture. Whether you’re working through substance use, emotional struggles, stress, or a difficult transition, we’ll focus on understanding what’s happening, building on your strengths, and identifying practical steps forward. I believe therapy should be collaborative, respectful, and focused on helping you create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to talk about what brought you to therapy and what you would like to be different. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what you need from therapy. I’ll listen, ask questions, and work with you to identify where it makes the most sense to start. My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of what we can work on together and a sense that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. If you’re ready to take the first step, book a free consultation and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
