I am a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. With a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy. I specialize in treating chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders, supporting clients through recovery, relapse prevention, and the rebuilding of healthy, meaningful lives.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in trust, empathy, and respect. My role is to walk alongside you—not to fix you, but to support you in uncovering your own strengths, healing past wounds, and developing the tools needed to live with clarity and purpose.
My communication style is warm, honest, and supportive. I believe in meeting clients with empathy and authenticity, creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard. I listen actively and without judgment, and I strive to validate your experiences while gently challenging patterns that may no longer serve you.
