Are you facing a life transition, mental health challenge, or addiction struggle that feels overwhelming to navigate on your own?

You're not alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals find stability, clarity, and hope during some of life's most difficult moments. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, major life changes, or the challenges of co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth can begin.

For more than 12 years, I've worked across mental health, addiction treatment, crisis intervention, medical settings, and community-based care. I've supported individuals and families through recovery, psychiatric crises, cognitive decline, and significant life transitions. These experiences have taught me that resilience exists even in the hardest circumstances—and that meaningful change is possible.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. Very little surprises me, and nothing is too complex to discuss. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create a path forward that feels achievable and authentic to you.

Life has pointed edges. Whether you’ve faced an especially traumatic incident, experienced the daily trauma of holding marginalized identity/ies, or are navigating intergenerational struggles within your own lineage, sorting through this pain alone can be overwhelming.


As a mental health therapist, I specialize in trauma treatment and somatic therapy for adults in the LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, and nonmonogamous communities. Throughout our work together, you’ll connect with the deeper layers of your inner landscape and root yourself in the present to find more peace in your day to day.
