As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Master-level CASAC, Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), I offer a supportive space rooted in warmth, authenticity, and clarity. I work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, substance use, life transitions, and identity exploration. A person-centered philosophy guides my eclectic approach and focuses on emotional healing, personal growth, and overall wellness.
I’m also passionate about teaching and have spent the past 7 years instructing college-level counseling courses on theory and practice, an experience that continues to enrich my style.
As a Substance Abuse & Mental Health Counselor, I use emotion-focused techniques and integrate tools from Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and defense mechanism work to meet your unique needs. Whether you're seeking clarity, coping skills, healing from trauma, or deeper self-understanding, I’ll meet you with compassion, insight, and purpose.
Life’s challenges can feel heavy when carried alone. Therapy with me is a space to feel seen, heard, and supported while making meaningful progress. If you're ready to explore your truth, heal at your own pace, and reconnect with your inner resilience, I invite you to reach out. You deserve support that truly meets you where you are.
