Pleasure to meet you! As an LCSW and CBT psychotherapist specializing in substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. My clinical training at Simmons University emphasized psychology-focused clinical social work with additional focus in addiction treatment. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and unhealthy patterns that can leave people feeling stuck or disconnected from the life they want to build. My goal is to help clients create meaningful, lasting change, not just temporary relief.
