I am a dual-licensed therapist and addiction counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges and addictive behaviors. My approach is deeply rooted in a trauma-focused lens, allowing me to address the profound impact that trauma can have on a person's life and well-being. I possess specialized training in a range of areas, including complex trauma, which helps me support those who have experienced multiple layers of psychological distress. I am also skilled in working with clients who face co-occurring mental health issues alongside substance use disorders, ensuring a holistic treatment experience. My expertise extends to addressing personality disorders, where I aim to understand the underlying factors influencing behavior and emotions. I am well-equipped to help individuals grappling with suicidal ideation, providing a safe and supportive environment for exploring these feelings and developing coping strategies. Additionally, I address common concerns such as anxiety, PTSD, and depression, offering tailored therapeutic techniques that resonate with each unique individual. I am passionate about championing marginalized communities and promoting diversity, striving to create an inclusive space where individuals can feel safe and understood. My commitment also includes supporting clients in their journeys of self-discovery related to sexuality and gender identification, empowering them to embrace their authentic selves.
