I am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in relational patterns, identity development, and substance use recovery for adults navigating life transitions and emotional challenges. As a relational therapist, I see the therapy space as a mirror to the outside world—a place where familiar patterns can surface and be gently explored. Together, we’ll examine the beliefs and behaviors that may have once protected you but now feel limiting or misaligned. My goal is to create a space rooted in curiosity, emotional safety, and meaningful change.
I work with adults navigating transitions, identity shifts, and the deeper questions that don’t always come with clear answers. With experience in both private practice and substance use treatment, I support clients in developing coping skills that go beyond symptom management—helping them build more sustainable, internal sources of resilience.
I specialize in relational dynamics and trauma-informed substance use treatment. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and curious. I’m passionate about the belief that healing happens in safe, connected relationships where self-understanding can grow and meaningful change becomes possible.
I take an integrative approach, grounded in relational work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients move from just surviving to truly living.
My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and a desire to understand the emotional patterns that shape our relationships. This experience deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, client-centered care that honors each person’s story. I bring a grounded, relational lens and a steady presence to each session.
I believe in meeting clients with warmth and respect, while also challenging them to grow—a balance that helps me be both a supportive ally and an active guide in the therapy process. I look forward to helping you deepen your self-awareness, break old patterns, and move toward lasting change.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV, spending time with family and friends, visiting museums in the city, and walking around the city.
