With 20 years of experience in community mental health and substance use support, I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges. Specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT, EFCT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Harm-Reduction approaches. I support building resilience, healing from traumas, and achieving personal goals. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, uncover strengths, and work toward meaningful change.
I view therapy as a partnership and tailor my approach to each person's unique needs and goals. My practice is inclusive and welcoming, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients, marginalized groups, and those navigating systemic barriers. I have a deep understanding of issues faced by first responders.
Taking the first step to seek support can be challenging. You might feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or hesitant to share your struggles, that’s common. My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard, no matter where you are in your journey.
