Being alone in our minds can be an uncomfortable and even frightening place. On top of this, life can be messy, painful, and far from perfect. In my practice, I honor the difficulties you’ve faced and the strength it takes to confront them. I am here to help you navigate these challenges with compassion, understanding, and a no-nonsense approach. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, while also holding you accountable. If I think you are on the wrong track, I will tell you - you deserve the truth. And you will also know that I see you, I hear you, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
I work with adults dealing with a variety of life challenges, and I am trained in treating substance use, borderline personality disorder, trauma, and more. In addition, my practice is a safe space for LGBTQ individuals and those exploring their sexual identity. Together, we will face the hard stuff and work toward the life that aligns with your true self.
I am a limited licensed master social worker. I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am trained in dialectic behavioral therapy or DBT. DBT is a framework that teaches coping skills from a Buddhist perspective. Recovery is creating the space to reconnect with ourselves. Welcome to your core self, who you are meant to be.
