Ready to feel more steady and in control? If you’re navigating alcohol or substance use, supporting a loved one, or managing the weight of trauma or anxiety, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to unpack both what’s showing up now and where these patterns began. Many of my clients are high-functioning but overwhelmed, burned out, or quietly struggling. Through a harm-reduction lens, we’ll reduce shame, untangle stuck cycles, and build safer more ways to cope, connect, and be the best version of yourself.
I create a space where you can speak freely, share unfiltered thoughts, and explore what hurts, without fear of judgment. Clients appreciate my down-to-earth style, transparency and sense of humor. My harm reduction approach blends empathy with practical skills for change. I work with teens, adults and families impacted by substance use, trauma or anxiety.
Reach out for a free phone consultation- no pressure, just a chance to see if we're a good fit. I'm happy to answer questions and support you as you navigate this process. I'm out-of-network with insurance and handle claim filing, so you can focus on care. I look forward to connecting!

Groups
Mindful Drinking & Sober Curious Group
This VIRTUAL & WEEKLY 8-week group is for those who find themselves between "alcoholic" and "normal" drinkers and want to explore their relationship with alcohol without committing to total abstinence. If traditional recovery programs haven't resonated with you, this is a safe, non-judgmental space to ask, "Would my life be better without alcohol?" Together, we'll explore how drinking affects your mental and physical health, set personal goals, and develop mindful consumption limits. It’s about stepping into your authentic self and living a life you don’t want to escape from. Starts Nov 18th @ 6:30 PM
