I am a clinical therapist with specialized experience in both outpatient and residential treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. My passion lies in helping individuals and families navigate recovery through a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed practices to support clients in building healthier coping strategies, processing difficult experiences, and strengthening resilience. Over the years, I have worked with individuals facing high-acuity challenges, guiding them through individualized treatment planning, relapse prevention, and aftercare support. I have also developed and facilitated group programs focused on topics such as addiction neuroscience, trauma recovery, self-sabotage, and healthy relationships. My clients appreciate my ability to meet them where they are, balance accountability with encouragement, and create a safe, nonjudgmental space for growth. Whether you are beginning your recovery journey, managing a relapse, or working on your mental health alongside substance use concerns, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, structure, and genuine care.
