For over 27 years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside individuals as they heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. My work is rooted in compassion, connection, and the belief that true healing happens when we align with our inner truth. I help clients release what no longer serves them and step fully into the authentic, whole, and worthy version of who they were always meant to be. I specialize in supporting individuals who are ready to explore the roots of their pain. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where deep healing can take place.
I utilize my in-depth knowledge of substance use and mental health disorders and trauma combined with my skills utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Advanced BLAST so that my clients can reach their desired goals.
My work focuses on helping you understand what happened to you rather than labeling what’s “wrong” with you. Through this lens, we identify the patterns, beliefs, and wounds that have shaped your journey — and begin to shift them with gentleness and care.
