About

Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you – identifying your core values and how they can guide your choices, goals, and sense of purpose. I believe that lasting change doesn’t come from self-criticism, but from approaching ourselves with kindness and patience. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply uncertain about your next steps, therapy can help you reconnect with what gives your life meaning and move toward it with clarity and self-compassion. Along the way, we’ll also cultivate emotional flexibility and resilience, so you can navigate life’s ups and downs with greater ease. You deserve a life that feels meaningful, hopeful, and true to who you are. In our work together, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space where you can feel seen, supported, and understood. My approach is grounded in trust and curiosity – I want to get to know the full picture of who you are, not just what’s bringing you to therapy. Additionally, I facilitate a neurodivergent support group called Neurospicy, where we embrace a holistic approach to understand and support our unique ways of thinking and experiencing the world. I invite you to reach out and embark on your journey toward healing! Specialties: While I work on a wide variety of issues, I specialize in substance use challenges and ADHD, as well as, neurodiversity and attachment challenges. Credentials & Experience: I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and can hep you manage substance use challenges.
