Introduction

Everyone feels overwhelmed and troubled at times. We all carry scars from either our past or present which can prevent us from enjoying life and embracing happiness. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your concerns. I promote healing from a place of empathy and understanding. I believe everyone has the inner strength and power to overcome adversity and to face the many challenges that life brings. I work from a client centered and affirming perspective using evidence-based interventions, techniques and skills drawn from a blend of therapeutic modalities. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. I specialize in helping adults struggling with trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, co-dependency, anxiety, and depression. My ability to draw on multiple therapy approaches will provide you with the most effective methods to best address your needs. We will work together to identify and change the thought and behavior patterns that are causing you pain. I would be honored to help guide and empower you through your journey to recovery and healing.
