I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults facing mental health concerns, substance use disorders, and the complicated overlap between the two. Much of my career has been spent in crisis stabilization, residential treatment, PHP, and IOP, supporting clients during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. That experience has shaped how I show up in the therapy room: grounded, direct, and deeply respectful of how hard change can be.

Neuro-Relational Depth Therapist | Trauma & Addiction Specialist I don’t believe in "by-the-book" therapy. True, sustainable change doesn’t come from a pre-packaged worksheet or a generic protocol. It comes from a deep, rigorous conversation and a relationship built on genuine trust.

I bridge the gap between deep emotional exploration and the hard science of the brain. My work is designed for the the individual who wants to understand the "why" behind their patterns to effectively change the "how" of their life.

By focusing on regulation over labels, we move away from shame and toward clarity. My goal is to help you understand exactly what is happening in your brain and body so you can regain your equilibrium.
