About My Clients
I can help you with: substance use and recovery, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Treatment is collaborative and individualized, focusing on coping skills, insight, resilience, and meaningful goals. Clients often gain greater self-understanding, improved coping, and a stronger sense of direction.
My Background and Approach
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I draw from Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, harm reduction principles, and strengths-based care. I believe therapy is not about fixing people—it is about helping people better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and move toward a life that feels meaningful and authentic. Whether you are navigating recovery, processing grief, feeling stuck, managing stress, or working through trauma, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens through honest connection, compassion, and creating a space where people feel safe enough to be fully themselves. Seeking support takes courage, especially when you've spent a long time carrying difficult experiences on your own. I strive to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or needing to have everything figured out first. My experience includes supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I have worked across community mental health, homelessness services, street outreach, and addiction treatment settings, helping individuals facing complex challenges with compassion and practical support. For over 12 years, I have facilitated grief groups through FRIENDS WAY, supporting teens and adults experiencing many forms of loss, including sudden death, suicide loss, overdose loss, anticipatory grief, and complicated bereavement
