About me
Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addiction Counselor with 8 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My areas of focus include managing stress and anxiety, overcoming addiction, addressing sleep issues, and developing healthy ways to cope with anger.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe you are the expert of your own story and that you already possess the strength needed to make meaningful change. My role is to support and guide you as you tap into those strengths and work toward your goals.
Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. Whether you’re looking for healing, growth, or simply someone to walk beside you through a difficult time—I’m here for you.
