Hello there! I am a dually licensed therapist credentialed as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with training and experience treating adults with issues that affect mental health, such as trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, family of origin, identity confusion, and substance use. Do you feel overwhelmed and unsupported? Have you developed unhelpful ways of coping with life's challenges and wonder how you got here? If this is you, I want to work with you. We'll examine what's wrong, begin to heal from the past, and create new ways of thinking and being.
I practice person-centered and attachment-based therapy, with strategies focused on healing through relationships and connection with others, using a variety of evidence-based interventions. I also believe in interdisciplinary, harm-reduction approaches to treating addiction, understanding the challenges to treatment as usual.
Known for being open, direct, and compassionate, I bring authenticity and warmth to each session. My sense of humor also helps create an approachable, comfortable environment, making it easier for clients to explore and navigate difficult topics. This combination of qualities fosters connection, helping clients achieve meaningful growth and change.
