I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and pregnancy & postpartum changes. As a dually licensed therapist and addiction specialist, I have worked in community mental health for 14yrs in a variety of settings and had the honor to walk alongside a diverse range of people in their healing journey. I believe healing happens in the context of safety, trust, and connection. Together we will find the right balance of the "why" and "what now." My ideal client comes with an open-mindedness and curiosity to explore themselves and are motivated to practice experiential activities both in and outside the session.

Therapist

I provide support and guidance so that my clients do not have to bear their struggles alone. We work collaboratively to understand what is not working and why. We examine past patterns of experience to help us understand current feelings and behaviors. We can create lasting change and transformation by addressing the underlying issues. I emphasize individual empowerment which allows the client to own their own victories. Empowerment creates a ripple effect which can transcend every aspect of ones life not just in one specific area.
