I am also cross licensed in the state of Nevada, Montana, New Mexico, Vermont, Virginia, Maryland, and Texas. I have been in the Substance Abuse field since 1996 working as an alcohol counselor in an outpatient setting. I received my applied AAS degree in 1996 and went on to receive my BS in Community Health and Human Services with an emphasis on Grief and Gerontology.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with several years of experience supporting people through the messy, real parts of life — anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, and everything in between. I offer a therapy space that’s affirming, down-to-earth, and rooted in both healing and growth. My approach blends clinical tools with real-life understanding, so you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I welcome you to vent until your heart is content!
