I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a temporarily Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a strong passion for supporting adolescents and young adults. My work centers on helping clients navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, substance use, and life transitions with compassion and evidence-based care.
My approach is collaborative and client-centered, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques. I use these evidence-based practices to help clients process past experiences, gain insight, and develop practical coping skills that support their well-being now and in the future.
Whether you want to address anxiety, trauma, substance use, or life changes, I am committed to providing you with an empowering and safe space to build confidence and work toward​ a meaningful change.
