If you’re exhausted from carrying trauma, trapped in perfectionism, or stuck in cycles of addiction or self-sabotage, you’re not broken — your nervous system learned how to protect you. But what once helped you survive may now be keeping you from the life you want. The desire to help yourself break free from old patterns is the first and most powerful step in achieving a healthy lifestyle. Whether you are in school, working a full-time career, a primary stay-at-home caregiver, or simply taking a break to heal your own inner struggles, know that there is no “right” time in life to begin this work — only the present moment.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches with compassion to aid clients in improving their depression and anxiety, eating disorders, and substance use.
My mission is to assist individuals, couples, and families build a stable and loving environment in ways that makes them feel seen and empowered. If you are feeling stuck in negativity, relapsing into unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, struggling to make improvements, or not knowing what to do, let's work together to build a life worth living.
