Welcome!
Let's figure your sh!t out, together.
As a therapist, my ideal client is someone who’s done playing around and ready to do the real work. They’re motivated, curious, and not afraid to get a little uncomfortable if it means growth. They want to be seen, heard, and fully validated—because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t? More than anything, they’re craving empowerment, autonomy, and a life that feels meaningful—not just manageable. They're not just here to "cope"—they’re here to thrive.
I’m a therapist who specializes in addiction and trauma—and I don’t do surface-level. I go deep, because real healing doesn’t happen with quick fixes or sugarcoating. I utilize evidenced based tools in each session, tailored to each individual client's needs.
My style? Brutally honest, no BS, and deeply compassionate. I am here to help you unpack the crap that has been running your life. Let's break the damn cycle, and get you out of your own way.
- Please note: I only have current availability in the evenings (After 5PM). Thank you!
