I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Master Addiction Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. While I work with a diverse range of clients, I often assist professionals navigating career challenges, students managing academic stress, and individuals striving for personal growth. One of my specialties is helping clients address complex interpersonal dynamics, whether in relationships, families, or workplaces.
I help clients gain insight into their thoughts and build the flexibility needed to adapt with resilience. Drawing from ACT, CBT, and EMDR, I guide clients in shifting how they relate to experiences, memories, and emotions. My focus is on helping them process the past, ease current distress, and move toward meaningful change that reflects their values.
I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can feel, and you don’t have to face them alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, substance use, major life transitions, or feeling stuck in your journey, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll explore practical steps toward the changes you want, building resilience, confidence, and clarity along the way.
