With over 20 years in recovery and 14 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I understand how personal and complex this journey can be. I meet you where you’re at, whether you’re exploring harm reduction, working a 12-step program, or following your own unique path. Together, we create a safe, affirming space where your experiences are honored and your goals guide the process. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, therapy can help you move toward healing and clarity.

I integrate evidence-based therapies with a personalized, compassionate approach. My work draws on:

  • EMDR — helping process traumatic memories and triggers connected to addiction, grief, and loss.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — building emotional flexibility and aligning your actions with your values.

  • Motivational Interviewing — supporting you in clarifying your goals and strengthening your motivation for change.

I believe in inclusive, affirming therapy that respects who you are and where you come from. I’ll never push a one-size-fits-all solution, Instead, we’ll collaborate on a path that reflects your needs, strengths, and aspirations.

I also choose not to work with insurance companies so I can provide care that’s fully private, discreet, and tailored to you. Without the oversight of insurance, you won’t need a formal diagnosis unless you want one, and your therapy stays between us.

Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own.

But you don’t have to do this alone.

Healing is possible. Recovery is possible.

You deserve support.
