I specialize in dual diagnosis populations, using evidence-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) to help clients manage co-occurring mental health, substance use and behavioral addictions. I support a range of recovery goals including harm reduction, controlled drinking, or abstinence—and tailor care to your needs. With deep understanding and compassion, I help you build skills, reduce distress, and create meaningful, lasting change. Let's build a life worth living together.
As a DBT-certified addiction counselor, I integrate mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation to offer effective, personalized treatment, fostering resilience and long-term recovery. I am also pleased to offer CBT-I as prescription guidelines around sleep medication are changing, I am here to offer an evidenced based alternative pharmaceuticals
I understand how overwhelming addiction can feel—for individuals and their loved ones. You don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins and hope is restored. Together, we’ll create a path forward that works for you. Take the first step and let’s start this journey toward a better tomorrow.

Groups
DBT skills training, codependency, CPTSD support
My practice offers virtual DBT skills groups tailored for those struggling with BPD. In a supportive, trauma-informed space, we focus on building mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy relationship skills. The codependency group helps clients set boundaries, reduce people-pleasing, and reconnect with their sense of self. The CPTSD group supports clients in managing triggers, regulating emotions, and developing self-compassion. These groups provide practical tools and community support to promote long-term healing and personal growth.
