I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with outpatient treatment experience, addressing substance-use struggles often paired with co-occurring mental health challenges. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to address stigma, explore underlying patterns, and develop coping skills and strategies to support recovery and meaningful change.

I use a person-centered approach to help clients explore negative thoughts contributing to depression and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy supports understanding emotions, challenging unhelpful patterns, and developing coping strategies to foster resilience, clarity, and hope.

I use CBT and a person-centered approach to help clients identify triggers and thought patterns contributing to anxiety. Therapy focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking, learning coping strategies, regulating emotions, and building confidence and control in daily life.
