Together, we’ll develop personalized strategies to help you regain control, find balance, and create lasting, positive change.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor with over a decade of experience. Holding dual Master’s degrees in School Counseling and Mental Health Counseling, I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, addiction, and relationship issues. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to create personalized treatment plans that empower clients to develop coping skills, resilience, and a sense of hope. My experience working with both teens and adults allows me to tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for growth and healing.

My values center around creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. I am passionate about mental health advocacy and support efforts to reduce stigma around mental illness and addiction. I believe in holistic care that addresses not just symptoms but the whole person, helping clients build resilience and lasting positive change.
