Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges and unsure of where to turn for support? I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges with mental health, substance use, and life transitions by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where growth, and change can happen. With experience in both residential and outpatient treatment settings, I work with adults who are seeking to build healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, improve sports performance and rediscover hope.
I specialize in CBT, DBT, and MBSR to help first responders, veterans, athletes, and those struggling with addiction. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with mindfulness to reduce stress, build resilience, and improve performance. Together, we’ll strengthen coping skills and support lasting change
Clients often describe my style as compassionate, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should be a partnership where your goals guide the process, and together we build tools to foster resilience and meaningful change.
