Great to meet you!

With nearly two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate the challenges of mental health, substance use, trauma, and life transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addiction Professional, and Ph.D.-level clinician, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session.

I believe people are more than their diagnosis, addiction, or current struggle. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change and lasting recovery.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and practical. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe enough to be honest and empowered enough to take steps toward change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or life stressors, we’ll build a plan that fits your goals and moves at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. We’ll spend time discussing what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope life will look like moving forward.

You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly where to start. My goal is to understand your story, identify your strengths, and begin creating a clear path toward the changes you want to make. Most clients leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about what’s possible.
