I utilize evidence-based treatment interventions such as, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, narrative therapy, family systems and Trauma Competency training.

It takes a lot of Courage to seek help. For most, the journey begins when the struggle becomes overwhelming or unbearable. The Willingness to accept support & guidance usually does not come easy. I applaud anyone who does so. Basic human needs include survival, a sense of belonging, power, freedom and fun. When these elements are not in place or are out of balance, we can present as anxious, depressed, stressed out and angry. I work well with people who are wanting to gain clarity around imbalances, and who want to take action on making changes that align with, and help to maintain, personal integrity.

You’re taking the first step towards a healthier version of yourself! You will soon learn that you, yourself, are your best therapeutic tool to create the change you want to see in your life.

I am a licensed therapist who sees individuals with mental health and/or substance use issues. When I began studying social work its philosophy resonated deeply with me as strengths-based with dignity for all. Social justice issues have recently been occupying a more prominent (long overdue) role in many conversations; I support the dismantling of systems of oppression in its many forms, and am supportive to clients if they choose to engage with these topics, whether or not they wish to bring them to the therapy space.

I work with a wide range of individuals from adults to adolescents. I am a master level social worker with clinical experience working with individuals addressing both mental health and substance use issues. My practice style holds the values of non-judgement and self-determination in high regard with hopes of creating a more compassionate and socially just world.

As an Addiction Social Worker, I specialize in empowering individuals to recover from addictive behaviors via support and counseling. With an extensive working knowledge of diverse recovery approaches, including family recovery, I feel privileged to help individuals with addiction and their families create change and enjoy productive, meaningful lives. As research shows, addicted individuals often struggle with additional challenges, such as trauma, grief, and mental health disorders and I recognize that quality treatment must be comprehensive to include treatment of these issues.

I am currently offering Recovery Coaching to individuals who are working on Mental Health and/or Substance Use challenges. Coaching assists a person with creating a pathway to move forward for personal or professional growth. Coaching can help you identify self-limiting beliefs and behaviors that may be preventing you from moving forward. Coaching is not therapy or counseling and there may be times that I will require a person to also connect with therapy when that additional support is necessary.

Skeptical about therapy or that things can change? I was too, before I saw a therapist myself. I too have experienced the societal stressors and family life issues and come to this work eager to empower my clients that you too can experience sustainable happiness. Do you over function, not feel good enough, feel stuck, or feel misunderstood? Do you wish you could say what you really feel versus what comes out when you are upset or frustrated? Are you or anyone else concerned with your drug or alcohol use, not understanding why? Would you like to be able to see the patterns you have been stuck in, so that you can find a better way?

Addiction and mental health are some of the leading challenges facing the lives of people today. More and more people are becoming comfortable with having conversations about their mental health. Whether you want a a clearer mind, or desire to regain control of your life, counseling can help. If you desire to have better relationships with others and yourself, and see positive changes in your life, you've come to the right place.

Live with courage... Have the courage to become who you are truly meant to be. Empowered with validation and motivation people are capable of transforming their lives. Authenticity, awareness, compassion, hope, and gratitude – cultivate these qualities in yourself and your relationships to bring peace, happiness, harmony, joy, and a sense of satisfaction to your soul and life. Connect with your inner wisdom to find the answers you need to create the change you want. Don’t let precious years go by – give yourself the gift of beginning or continuing your journey now.
