About My Clients
work with adults facing trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their past or stuck in unhealthy patterns but are ready for change. Whether you're navigating PTSD, struggling with substance use, or processing loss, I offer a compassionate space to heal. My ideal client is open to self-reflection and looking for practical tools to regain control, build resilience, and create a more fulfilling life.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor with nearly a decade of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, addiction, and grief. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and DBT, using evidence-based techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. My therapy approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, meaning we move at your pace in a way that feels safe and empowering. I believe that healing happens in connection, so I focus on building a trusting, supportive relationship where you can explore challenges without fear of judgment. With a background in substance use treatment and mental health care, I understand the complexities of addiction, trauma, and emotional pain. I work with clients to break unhealthy cycles, manage triggers, and develop sustainable coping skills. Whether you're looking to process past trauma, manage anxiety, or work toward sobriety, I provide the tools and guidance to help you move forward.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the power of resilience and that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy should be a collaborative, empowering process. I strive to create an inclusive, welcoming space for individuals from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients and those from diverse cultural and religious identities. Outside of my work, I am passionate about mental health advocacy, ongoing education in trauma-informed care, and providing supervision to fellow clinicians. I value humor, authenticity, and a down-to-earth approach to therapy—because healing doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating. My goal is to help clients feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
