I firmly believe that a therapist should embody consistency, compassion, and non-judgment in their practice. My approach to therapy is rooted in building a collaborative relationship with my clients. With a deep passion for mental health and extensive leadership background in the realms of addiction and mental health care, I have gained valuable experience in a variety of treatment settings. I have worked across different addiction and mental health programs, spanning from detox, residential, court, hospitalization to outpatient care, with an understanding that each individual's journey to recovery is distinct.

My expertise extends to anxiety disorders, providing a wide range of therapeutic interventions tailored to equip clients with practical skills to navigate through their challenges. Anxiety can profoundly impact one's life, causing disruptions and distress. You are not alone! I’m here to offer support by walking alongside you as we address and challenge the thought patterns that perpetuate the cycle of anxiety.

I also offer my services to court-involved clients or individuals in need of substance use evaluations. Drawing from my clinical experience working within the legal system and collaborating with them frequently, I possess a deep understanding of the specific requirements and expectations of such cases.

My therapeutic approach integrates Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and trauma-informed services to provide comprehensive support.
