Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.

I work with adolescents and adults navigating addiction across the full spectrum, including alcohol and other substances, compulsive or process-based behaviors, early recovery, relapse vulnerability, long-term recovery, and transitions out of inpatient or higher levels of care. I also support clients experiencing co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

I have been working in the behavioral health field since 2015, with experience in addiction and mental health treatment across a range of settings and levels of care. I hold a Master of Social Work from Simmons University and am LCSW-eligible. I work with adolescents (13+) and adults, and I welcome clients at all stages of readiness, including those who feel unsure, ambivalent, or overwhelmed by change.

At the core of my work is the belief that addiction is rarely just about the behavior itself. It often reflects deeper emotional, relational, and stress-based patterns that deserve understanding rather than judgment. I place strong value on helping clients build internal resources while also connecting them to supportive services and external supports when additional structure or care would be helpful.

As a licensed therapist in Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Virginia. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes.

I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I'm committed to providing personalized, evidence-based support tailored to individual needs and experiences. Drawing from a decade of clinical experience, I offer a warm, collaborative approach that empowers clients to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful life changes.

Many of the adults I work with grew up feeling unseen—whether because of childhood trauma, emotionally unavailable parents, or painful relationship patterns. Those early experiences can stay with us, shaping the way we see ourselves and connect with others. Over time, it can feel like you’re stuck in the same cycles, questioning your worth, or struggling to build the relationships you want.

Becoming a therapist felt like a natural calling: a way to combine compassion with practical tools to help people heal, grow, and find balance. Over the years, I’ve seen how therapy can transform lives—restoring hope, strengthening relationships, and helping clients rewrite the stories they tell themselves. That transformation is what inspires me every day to do this work with warmth, empathy, and genuine care. I absolutely love what I do and I feel very blessed to do this work everyday.

Many of my clients are healers, therapists, teachers, artists, psychics and spiritual practitioners. They are seeking someone who can understand their rich inner world as well as the challenges of their outer world. They are seeking a therapist who can track intuitively and work with them respectfully to release unwanted limiting beliefs and traumas so that they can truly shine and achieve their goals.

I believe mental health care should feel safe, compassionate, and deeply human. My approach combines psychiatry with a whole-person perspective, recognizing how stress, relationships, lifestyle, physical health, and past experiences can all affect emotional wellbeing. I strive to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I especially value honesty, kindness, and building a genuine connection with the people I work with.
