About My Work

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, addiction and recovery, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, grief, shame, identity concerns, family dysfunction, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, authenticity, and meaningful connection. I strive to create a space where clients feel emotionally safe, genuinely seen, and free from judgment.

I feel especially passionate about supporting individuals who have spent much of their lives in survival mode and are learning how to reconnect with themselves in healthier and more compassionate ways. I also work closely with individuals experiencing high-functioning or functional substance use disorders — people who may appear successful or “fine” outwardly while silently struggling with shame, exhaustion, emotional pain, or addiction behind the scenes. My goal is to help clients feel less alone in those experiences and to remind them that healing and rebuilding are possible.

As a parent and a person in long-term recovery, I bring both professional experience and personal understanding into my work. I understand how difficult it can feel to begin again, and I deeply value creating a supportive therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and authenticity.

My clinical approach integrates trauma-informed therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, strengths-based interventions, expressive arts techniques, and holistic wellness practices. I often incorporate reflective writing, journaling, art, mindfulness, and nature-based grounding into the healing process, believing creativity can be a powerful pathway toward emotional healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

Clients often come to me seeking support for trauma, addiction and recovery, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, and rebuilding identity and purpose after difficult life experiences. I also have experience supporting individuals impacted by incarceration and reintegration experiences, chronic emotional invalidation, and family dysfunction.

In the first few sessions, we focus on building trust, understanding your goals, and creating a space that feels safe and collaborative. Therapy moves at a pace that respects each client’s comfort level and emotional needs while helping identify strengths, patterns, and practical tools for healing and growth.

I believe the foundation of effective therapy is safety, trust, compassion, and genuine human connection. Clients often share that they appreciate my calming presence, authenticity, and ability to create a space where they do not have to hide parts of themselves. I believe healing is not about perfection — it is about reconnecting with yourself, developing self-compassion, and moving toward a life that feels more meaningful and authentic.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy painting, reflective writing, spending time in nature, mindfulness practices, and exploring creative forms of healing and self-expression. I value creativity deeply and believe the arts can offer meaningful opportunities for emotional healing and personal growth.
