If you’re reading this, chances are you’re hurting. Maybe depression is making it hard to get through the day. Maybe anxiety has you feeling tense and on edge. Or maybe you’re caught in a cycle with alcohol or other substances and you’re tired of fighting it on your own. Whatever brought you here, you’re not broken — and you’re not alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). I work with adults — individuals and couples — who are ready to make changes.
My approach is simple: I talk directly to your pain. Together we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface, find patterns that aren’t serving you, and build practical skills to help you start feeling better.
Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or struggles in your relationship, therapy with me is a place where you’ll be heard and supported. You’ll have space to speak openly, to feel your feelings, and to learn new ways of coping. If you’re ready to stop carrying everything alone, reach out. We’ll figure out what’s keeping you stuck.

I work with clients that may be struggling with depression, anxiety and other mood issues. I also work with addictions. We will work together to determine what your goals are for counseling. Therapy doesn't have to feel scary or intimidating. The first step seems the hardest, but you are worth it.
