About Me
With over 15 years of experience in addiction treatment, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside individuals from all walks of life as they navigate healing and recovery. I believe healing takes courage, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. My approach is eclectic and person-centered, tailored to meet your unique needs. While many seek me out for EMDR therapy, I draw from a wide range of evidence-based tools to find what resonates best for you. Whether you're navigating trauma, identity, or life transitions, my goal is to co-create a path forward that feels empowering and authentic. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, brave space—one where you don’t need to code-switch or filter who you are. I meet you exactly where you are, offering clear, direct communication grounded in respect and care. If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit to begin this journey together.
