About My Clients

You may be questioning your relationship with substances, working toward recovery, or trying to make changes that feel harder than expected. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We'll work together to understand what's happening, identify what you want to change, and find realistic ways to move forward.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with experience helping individuals navigate substance use, recovery, anxiety, stress, relationships, and major life changes. My approach is collaborative, practical, and individualized to the person in front of me. I believe therapy should be a place where you can speak openly without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. I draw from evidence based approaches while also recognizing that meaningful change rarely looks the same for everyone. Whether you are working toward recovery, questioning your relationship with substances, or dealing with challenges that have nothing to do with substance use, we’ll work together to better understand what’s getting in the way and identify realistic changes that fit your life. My goal is to help you develop greater insight while also leaving sessions with practical ways to move forward.
