As an enthusiastic and licensed mental health and addiction therapist, I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate life challenges using evidence-based approaches. My therapeutic foundation rests on the integration of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing techniques within a holistic framework. I treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. My therapeutic practice extends beyond symptom management to address underlying emotional, social, and environmental factors. I empower clients to explore their thought patterns, develop coping skills, and foster resilience.

In my work, I prioritize collaboration and empathy. I actively listen to clients, tailoring interventions to their unique needs. Whether guiding someone through recovery or supporting their mental health journey, I am dedicated to fostering growth, self-awareness, and lasting change.
I envision a future where mental health and addiction services are accessible, destigmatized, and integrated seamlessly into holistic wellness. My personal and professional journey fuels my commitment to helping others thrive. I am excited to bring my expertise, compassion, and evidence -based techniques to empower clients to build paths towards healing.
