I work with adults navigating depression, grief, substance use, life transitions, and impulsive behaviors.
You’ve been holding it together for everyone else, but inside, you’re tired. Maybe it’s grief that lingers, depression that won’t lift, or habits that feel too big to break. You want more than survival, you want to feel steady and in control again. I offer a grounded space to slow down, unpack what’s weighing on you, and build practical tools for real, lasting change. No pressure. No judgment. Just honest support.

My expertise extends across various topics, including trauma, substance use, anxiety and mood disorders, as well as severe and persistent mental illnesses.

In addition to treating anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, I have experience in substance use counseling and enjoy working with clients who are concerned about their substance use.
I specialize in adult psychotherapy, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, and LGBTQ issues. It can be hard to experience hope when we feel stuck in old patterns of thinking and feeling about life, ourselves, and our relationships. This can lead to feelings of stress, confusion, unhappiness, or disappointment. I work to help individuals and couples to examine these patterns and to explore and experiment with new ways of thinking and acting, which in turn can have dramatic impact on how they are feeling.
