I am a compassionate and dedicated behavioral health professional committed to providing high-

experience spans a wide range of behavioral health settings, where I have worked with

individuals facing mental health challenges, trauma, substance use disorders, crisis situations,

strive to meet each person where they are, respecting their unique experiences, values, and pace

of change.

Above all, clients should know that they can expect empathy, authenticity, professionalism, and

unwavering support throughout their therapeutic journey. My goal is to help individuals build

resilience, foster self-awareness, and create lasting positive change while feeling heard, valued,

and empowered every step of the way.

I specialize in addictions and recovery services, child and family therapy, military adjustment and transition services, and persons experiencing complex trauma.
