My clients are adolescents and adults who are facing some of life's most difficult challenges and who have made the courageous decision to seek support. They may be someone caught in the cycle of addiction, carrying the quiet weight of unresolved trauma, or struggling with anxiety or depression that has begun to affect their daily life. While others have been silently struggling for years. What they share is a readiness to begin and a desire to feel better.
Healing looks different for everyone, which is why I tailor my approach to each individual I work with. I specialize in addiction and recovery, trauma, anxiety, and depression, using proven, evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
Whether you're navigating recovery, processing painful experiences, or managing anxiety that has started to feel unmanageable, you deserve a space where you feel truly safe and heard. From the very first session, my hope is that you feel seen, supported, and less alone. Wherever you are in your journey, I'm here and I would be honored to walk with you.
