I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, addiction and recovery, and life transitions. I also work with individuals living with disabilities, chronic illness, dual diagnoses, and those adjusting to major life changes—whether that’s an empty nest, a new diagnosis, or the weight of uncertainty. I’ve supported individuals moving through cancer treatment and understand the emotional toll health challenges can bring.My role is to be a steady support system—someone who listens deeply, sits with you without judgment, and helps you build coping tools that make everyday life feel lighter and more manageable.
