Peace of mind is something we all strive for — and something life's challenges can quickly disrupt. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in mental health and substance use disorders, I've helped individuals and families find their way back to steadiness, clarity, and a more fulfilling life.

My virtual office is a calm, judgment-free space where you set the pace. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches, we'll work together to untangle whatever is weighing on you and build practical, lasting solutions.

I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to be honest, direct, and supportive — helping you recognize and leverage the strengths you already have to create real, meaningful change.

Seeing clients via telehealth means you can engage from the comfort and privacy of your own home, which often makes it easier to open up and speak freely. Many people find that being in a familiar space helps them do their best work in therapy.

I also offer clinical supervision for social workers and counselors pursuing licensure or certification in the field of addiction.

My greatest strengths include building trusting therapeutic relationships, creating emotional safety for clients during vulnerable moments, and helping individuals identify practical, achievable pathways toward change. I am known for my ability to balance compassion with honesty, offering direct yet supportive feedback that empowers clients to gain insight and move forward with confidence. My extensive clinical experience allows me to effectively assess complex emotional and behavioral concerns, support crisis stabilization, and guide clients toward sustainable coping strategies and long-term wellness.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a comfortable, trusting therapeutic relationship. We will talk about what brings you to therapy at this time, the challenges you may be experiencing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing—there is no pressure to tell your entire story right away.

I will ask questions to better understand your background, current concerns, strengths, and supports so that we can develop a clear picture of your needs and goals. We will also review important information such as confidentiality, therapy expectations, and any questions you may have about the counseling process. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we will begin identifying priorities and discuss initial steps toward meaningful change and emotional wellness.
