Ever have thoughts, feelings, just things you want to process and there's just no one to talk to about it? Sure, we may have loved ones, friends, co-workers, and other associative people where we can discuss the surface, or even some of the deeper stuff. What about the real niche things? The real deeper thoughts? The struggles we may be to shameful to discuss? The accomplishments we don't want to share without seeming egotistical? I believe that therapeutic relationships are one of the true few corners of our society, that allow one to be truly who they are. What I love most about what I do, is I pride myself on giving each person a space to share what is honest, what is real, in hopes to help guide on to a path for true wellbeing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), an Internationally Certified Gambling Counselor (ICGC-I), but beneath all the letters... I am a person who is ready to listen.

I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, guiding with Exposure Therapy, solution based, client centered. I believe in a family systems approach, and encourage couples and/or families to engage in any process where applicable. I believe in harm reduction, and know that treatment is never a "one shoe fits all" approach. I am collaborative, ensuring that goals are mutual and relevant to you.

First encounters are always fairly awkward, almost like a blind date. It can be very challenging opening up to even your closest loved ones, let alone a stranger. With me, you can expect a first session to be met with active listening, empowerment, and collaboration in identifying presenting issues/ treatment goals to work towards.
