Tired of therapy that feels like endless venting? Ready for real change? With over 22 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help adults move beyond stuck patterns and toward meaningful progress. I’m licensed in GA, ID, AZ, FL, RI, CT, and VT, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship challenges, and LGBTQ+ concerns. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative—blending insight, humor, and practical strategies to help you create lasting change. This is active therapy focused on results. No matter where you’re starting, I believe in your strength and your ability to heal.
Over the years, I’ve helped clients navigate a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and depression, trauma and PTSD, complex grief, anger and emotional regulation, substance use and dual diagnosis, psychosis and severe mental illness, relationship challenges, LGBTQ+ identity, work-related stress, and men’s issues.
You don’t have to face this alone—and you don’t need the perfect words to begin. All it takes is a willingness to show up. If you’re ready to take that step, I’m here and honored to support you. Let’s work together to help you become the version of yourself you’ve been striving toward.
