As a therapist specializing in mental health, addiction recovery, trauma, relationships, and family dynamics, I have been helping adults, adolescents, couples and families navigate the challenges of life for the past ten years of clinical experience. Drawing from my experience as an addiction counselor since 2015, 4 years as a therapist, my personal journey of recovery for 12 years, I have developed a unique and integrated therapeutic framework that empowers my clients to discover the root cause of their problems. As my client, I will guide you to your truth rather than trying to impose my ideas of what I think is best for you.
Using a trauma-informed lens, attachment theory, and a comprehensive and holistic biopsychosocial approach, I help my clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I draw from CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic theory to help clients develop coping skills to manage their day-to-day lives while finding their passion and purpose.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, I am here to guide you towards discovering your inner strengths and resources. Together, we can explore your values, beliefs, and goals to help you create a fulfilling and meaningful life. Let me help you on your journey towards healing and wholeness, on your terms.
