Therapist

You want a therapist you can actually talk to, who listens closely, asks real questions, and knows what they’re doing. I work with teens, adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, substance use, stress, anger, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck.

I’m dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor and have worked in outpatient, inpatient, school-based, crisis, forensic, and co-occurring treatment settings. That experience has taught me to look beyond symptoms, understand the bigger picture, and tailor therapy to the person in front of me.

My style is practical, straightforward, open-minded, and collaborative. You do not need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before you start. We can begin with what is actually going on, make sense of it together, and focus on changes that matter in your day-to-day life.

Come as you are. We’ll go from there.
