I am honored to work beside persons seeking support with their personal growth and in creating hope-filled futures. For a variety of reasons, many of us struggle with managing daily life and its unexpected challenges. The specific reasons, needs, and desired goals of each person can differ greatly. I respect that you are the expert of your own life and wish for us to work together to explore your individual needs. Together, we will then design a plan of action to address and overcome any obstacles preventing you from achieving your goals and future success.
I have been providing individual therapy services for over 30 years and working as a licensed psychologist since 2013. I specialize in treating substance use disorders and a range of emotional dysregulation concerns and other mental health challenges, including anger management, impulsivity, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss.
I believe therapy is a mutually rewarding experience, offering us both the opportunity to learn and grow in a welcoming and accepting space where clients can safely explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgment. Through a free 15-minute consultation, we can determine the next best steps to support your overall well-being.

The specific treatment I use in session will depend on your presenting problem. Interventions are client-specific. I do not believe "one size fits all", so we will be exploring multiple strategies for supporting your personal growth. I am formally trained in a variety of evidenced-based interventions and am certain we will identify the best approach to meet your expressed needs.
