I believe in walking alongside you as a collaborator, helping you set realistic goals and offering support as you take steps toward them. Rather than focusing on a diagnosis, we will focus on your strengths, while also working together on practical ways to manage symptoms. Whether your struggles involve compulsive behaviors, unresolved trauma, or difficulty managing daily life, my aim and goal is to help you build a life that feels meaningful to you.

My approach to counseling is grounded in a foundation of trauma-informed and person-centered care, integrating techniques from Compassionate Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that fits you.

I bring specialized training and certification in treating problem gambling and gaming/internet disorders. This expertise complements my broader clinical experience working with complex mental health needs, sleep and nightmare disorders, and emotional regulation.
