I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Specialist — and this work is not just my profession, it is my calling. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating substance and behavioral addictions, and I also hold space for something that often goes unaddressed: the family members of addicted loved ones, who carry their own profound pain and deserve their own healing. I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relapse Prevention, and Self-Compassion practices. But beyond the credentials, here is what I want you to know about me: I believe that therapy is about walking beside you — not directing you, not fixing you — with the quiet understanding that we are all, in our own way, walking one another home. That belief shapes everything about how I show up for my clients.

I'm so glad you're here! I love working with new moms, helping them navigate the transition into their new role, and high achieving women who have learned to self silence and/or suppress their needs. Helping women navigate any of the challenging transitions of life (newly separated/divorced, new jobs, new relationship, college admission/graduation) is a real passion of mine!

If you have been feeling stuck and having difficulty with motivation or decision paralysis, I can help with that! If you have been struggling to experience joy, let's talk!
