With over nine years in the mental health and addiction field, I help children, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier relationships. I specialize in anxiety, depression, anger management, co-dependency, substance use, unhealthy interpersonal relationships, and dysfunctional family systems.
My professional journey includes work in child welfare, corrections, forensic therapy, and drug and alcohol treatment. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of complex systems, the resilience people show in difficult circumstances, and the tools to support meaningful growth.
I take a person-centered trauma informed approach, blending evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and psychoeducation. I emphasize empathy, practical strategies, and honoring each person’s lived experiences—because I know firsthand how personal history shapes how we cope, relate, and heal.
Beyond my professional work, I bring warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity to sessions. My own experiences with resilience, growth, and navigating relationships inform my practice, helping me connect authentically with clients across life stages.
I create a space where clients can explore, heal, and grow—recognizing that growth looks different for everyone. You’ve already taken one of the hardest steps by being here seeking support, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey toward healing and personal growth.
