I spent decades struggling in isolation, convinced I could handle everything alone—until I finally reached out and discovered what a difference genuine connection and unconditional positive regard could make. That transformative experience shaped my work as a substance use and mental health counselor. I believe our deepest healing happens when we reconnect with ourselves and each other, and my role is to help facilitate that connection. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups across the lifespan—from young adults through elders—addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, and the full spectrum of struggles that keep us disconnected from our authentic selves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral approaches, and family/marital work, I help you build practical coping skills while creating space for genuine healing. I'm currently accepting new clients and offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I accept UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR, Community Health Choice, and Mercy EAP. If you're ready to take that courageous step toward reconnection, I'm here to support you.
