Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed therapist who believes people grow best when they feel understood, respected, and empowered. My style is warm, affirming, and open-minded, while also direct, engaging, and occasionally humorous. I value honest conversations, practical tools, and accountability; therapy should feel supportive and effective. I earned my graduate training in social work and have professional experience working with adults in community-based and high-acuity dual diagnosis settings. I primarily work with adults navigating anger management, substance abuse, ADHD, family and relationship challenges, and stress management. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in patterns they want to change, and are ready for growth with the right support.

My approach to therapy

My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and action-oriented. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and experiential techniques to help clients build insight, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical skills they can use in everyday life. I aim to balance support with gentle challenge so clients leave therapy feeling empowered, capable, and confident in creating change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is focused on building connection, understanding what brings you to therapy, and clarifying what you want to work on. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, listen closely, and help you begin making sense of patterns, stressors, and goals. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable while also setting a clear direction for therapy; no pressure, no judgment.
