I feel privileged to walk alongside individuals who are seeking to improve their lives, find healing, and rediscover joy in everyday living. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults.
My practice is rooted in the intersection of addiction and mental health. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan who are navigating trauma, serious mental illness (SMI), anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. I believe every person has strengths and the capacity for growth, even during some of life’s most difficult seasons.
My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, drawing from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Essentialism. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, find meaningful answers, and develop practical tools to move forward.
I enjoy watching movies, relaxing with SpongeBob, and spending time with the people I love. My faith and family are important sources of inspiration in both my personal life and the work I do with others.
