In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session typically follows a person-centered, strengths-based approach, helping you explore what brought you to therapy and identify meaningful goals. This foundation allows us to develop a clear, individualized path toward healthy change and progress.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clinical specialties include substance use disorders and addiction, grief, depression, anxiety, mindfulness, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns. As a veteran, I have a strong interest in working with veterans and first responders. I am trained in EMDR and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. My professional background includes counseling at a highly respected substance use treatment center, serving as a staff social worker in a correctional facility, conducting outpatient substance use assessments, and providing therapy for adolescents and adults in outpatient and private practice settings.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I utilize person-centered and strengths-based modalities that support autonomy in the change process. My style is nonjudgmental, collaborative, and focused on meeting you where you are while helping you move toward lasting growth.
