With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I’m outgoing and easy to talk to, yet also introspective, which helps us explore deeper emotions and patterns in a way that feels natural and supportive. I specialize in substance use disorders as well as mental health conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, and I blend empathy with practical, evidence-based tools to help clients feel understood and empowered. My goal is to create a safe space where you can grow, heal, and move toward meaningful, lasting change at your own pace.

I have been practicing for over 17 years providing Individual and family therapy. My focus is to facilitate strategies and interventions that will bring you hope and transformation.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you in this therapeutic process.

I look forward to connecting with you.
