Someone once said, "The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage." Sometimes it is both challenging and absolutely terrifying to invite a perfect stranger into one's space that doesn't appear to be as "put together" as we would like, especially when what has one "falling apart" is substance use. I am of the belief that with a focused mind, determined spirit, and faith, there is no trip DOWN you can't fall UP from.

There are times in life when we all need others. My work is my passion and I’m here to help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience providing clinical therapy. I provide a non-judgmental, safe atmosphere with open communication and a passion for learning about yourself and how I can assist you through life. I offer teletherapy as well as in-person sessions and have flexible hours. I have worked with many populations ranging in age from toddlers to the elderly.

Finding a therapist you can trust can be challenging. I’ve been described as supportive, empathetic and honest. I speak up more during sessions than many traditional therapists because I’m genuinely curious about how you think and feel. Engaging in a conversation and getting to know your story are the reasons I do this work. Everyone needs support as they navigate stressful life transitions, explore relationship dynamics and process old wounds. The only requirement is that you’re curious to learn more about yourself.
