With two master's degrees and 10 years of clinical experience, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns and life circumstances. While my clinical background is broad, my primary focus and passion has been working with adults navigating substance use and recovery. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself—your experiences, patterns, strengths, and the beliefs that may be shaping how you navigate life.
Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to be honest, vulnerable, and fully yourself. I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can openly express and process your experiences while also being challenged when needed. My style is direct yet compassionate, flexible, and responsive to where you are in your journey.
Whether you are working through substance use, relationships, difficult life experiences, or simply trying to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen your sense of self, and build the tools necessary to create meaningful and sustainable change.

What we resist, persists. I understand how difficult it is to make changes in our lives. We all continue to repeat the same patterns in some way. It is natural to want to resist change; however, it is possible to break through the resistance. If you are reading this you have already decided to face resistance. I commend you, and I am here to support you in taking the next steps on the path you have already chosen. You are not alone. We can do this together, no matter what you are struggling with.
