My passion for helping people began at an early age from an interest in why and how people become addicted or functionally impacted by their mental health concerns-and how people recover and improve their functioning. My goal is to help you feel safe to share and make sense of your story and then help you continue writing the next chapter. I take a client-centered approach by collaborating with you to create treatment goals that reflect your individual needs and your pace. I am strengths-based in my approach, viewing your situation with a lens of what is working that can help what isn’t working. I am holistic, recognizing that stress and symptom management are improved by addressing sleep, diet, exercise, and mindfulness. I work with adults and teens on concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, perfectionism, and substance use. I recognize how your home, work, or school environment impacts growth and healing. Also, I enjoy including partners and family in treatment when possible because it helps to know you have support outside of therapy.
