I specialize in working with adults who are navigating the complex intersections of ADHD and Addiction Recovery. For me, becoming a therapist was a calling forged through personal experience. My foundational passion for substance use recovery was born from a deep desire to support those battling the cycle of addiction, and today, I am energized by helping individuals turn their struggles into a path of sustainable freedom and focus.
