specialize in working with adults who are curious about their relationship with substances—whether they are actively using, trying to change their use, or supporting someone they love.

My approach is grounded in understanding anxiety as a protective response shaped by past experiences and present pressures. Rather than simply managing symptoms, we focus on building safety, flexibility, and self-trust—so anxiety no longer has to run the show.

In Person-Centered therapy, I emphasize empathy, authenticity, and respect for your lived experience. This approach creates a nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly, feel deeply understood, and explore concerns at your own pace. By prioritizing trust and collaboration, Person-Centered therapy supports insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change that aligns with your values rather than external expectations

I utilize a DBT approach to help clients build practical skills for managing intense emotions, navigating relationships, and coping with distress.

I work with adults experiencing depression in ways that are often shaped by loss, burnout, disconnection, and chronic stress rather than a single cause. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and attentive to how social and structural pressures affect mood, motivation, and self-worth. Together, we focus on understanding patterns, restoring agency, and building forms of care that feel sustainable—without rushing toward false positivity or oversimplified solutions.
