About My Clients
I work with people struggling with drug or alcohol use, sexual compulsivity, or pornography concerns. You may also be navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or unmet needs. If you feel stuck or unsure about change, we can explore what these patterns provide and what they may be costing you. Together, we’ll practice responding to urges and difficult emotions with flexibility and self-compassion, working toward changes that reflect your values.
Our Background
I’m a master’s-level, licensed associate clinician with 10+ years in mental health and addiction care. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and motivational interviewing to explore patterns, make room for difficult thoughts and emotions, and support choices guided by your values. Your goals may include exploration, harm reduction, reduced use, or abstinence. We’ll explore your options without pressure. For PTSD, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment that helps you examine trauma-related beliefs. My practice is not based on a 12-step model. I respect 12-step support when meaningful to you. I hold an associate license and am completing the standard process of supervised experience required for independent licensure. This is a supervised private practice. It is owned and managed by a master’s level, non-independent licensee under Board-approved clinical supervision pursuant to A.A.C. R4-6-211. Supervisor is Jill Fabian LISAC LCSW.

I’m interested in what makes a person’s life meaningful, what gets in the way, and what becomes possible when difficult experiences are met with curiosity and compassion. People can spend years trying to manage painful thoughts, emotions, or patterns without having space to explore what is happening underneath. I value offering that space: a place for honest conversation, thoughtful reflection, and practical steps toward the life someone wants. I’m drawn to work that makes room for the whole person. Someone seeking help for drug or alcohol use, sexual compulsivity, or pornography concerns may also be carrying loneliness, anxiety, trauma, depression, physical pain, or needs that have been difficult to recognize or express. I want to understand how those experiences connect. Exploring a behavior’s role can reveal what a person has been trying to find, protect,
