I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. We all carry things with us—our histories, relationships, expectations, losses, responsibilities, and the stories we’ve learned to tell about ourselves. Sometimes the things we’ve learned to carry help us move through life; other times, they become heavier than we realized. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you’re carrying, and decide what you want to keep, what you might be ready to set down, and what you may need help carrying.

You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there. My role isn’t to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and find a way forward that feels genuinely like your own.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change.

I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.
