About My Clients

Does your mind never slow down? Are your emotions hard to manage, or does your past keeps showing up? Maybe you look "fine" on the outside while inside you're overwhelmed, numb or stuck. Trauma, depression, neurodivergence, anxiety or addiction can make everyday life exhausting. My approach to healing is dynamic, practical, and sometimes humorous. My approach combines rich clinical expertise with lived experience to help you gain clarity and reduce the symptoms interfering with daily life.

My Background and Approach

As a therapist, peer coach, and addiction counselor I work with adults and adolescents through trauma, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, dissociative disorders, substance use, and complex life transitions. My work is informed by over a decade of experience in the mental health field and my own lived experiences. My areas of expertise were honed in private therapy settings, working in psychiatric hospitals, counseling in substance use treatment centers, as an ADHD coach and as a group facilitator. I have specialized training with trauma, dissociative disorders, neurodivergence, EMDR, and am certified to provide ketamine-assisted integration therapy for appropriate clients. I draw from evidence-based approaches to help you understand what is driving your patterns and build practical tools to change them. Together, we can work toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who you are.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Society has never made it easy to talk openly about mental health. Stigma still convinces people to hide their pain, handle everything alone, or feel ashamed for needing support. I reject that belief. Everyone deserves the chance to grow beyond the labels and experiences that have tried to define them. I believe there are as many paths to healing as there are people, and therapy can help you discover what your path looks like without judgment. I have been in therapy longer than I have been a therapist, and it remains one of the best things I have done for myself. It has made me a better person, a more grounded clinician, and a more compassionate helper. I feel called to this work. Sitting across from someone, hearing their story, and using my experience and training to walk with them through change is an honor. I welcome people from every background and identity. Whether you are dealing with mild anxiety or something complex, I bring my full attention and effort to our work together.
