I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with several years of experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. My background includes both crisis work and long-term therapy, which allows me to support clients through intense moments while also helping them build sustainable change.
I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative, supportive space where you can be honest about what you’re going through without fear of judgment. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, help you better understand yourself, and work together to create meaningful progress in your life.
