Target Population
I work with adolescents (ages 15 and older), young adults, and adults. While I do not take couples or families as my primary clients, I do provide education and support for families or loved ones of those struggling with substance use or addiction

Transitions
One of my favorite analogies for navigating a transition is that of a trapeze artist. As they swing on the first trapeze, they must prepare themselves to let go—releasing something that has kept them steady in the air. To reach the next trapeze, they must let go of the first, entering a moment of untethered suspension between what was and what will be. Transitions in life are much the same: they require letting go, sometimes grieving what’s no longer there, and facing the uncertainty of the in-between.
In this space, it’s common to feel lost, adrift, or unsure of how to reach the next stage. Doubts may creep in, confidence may waver, and the path forward may seem unclear. But you don’t have to face this alone. Together, we can navigate this time of change, finding clarity, resilience, and a way to grasp what comes next.

Substance Use & Addictions
Your relationship with substances is deeply personal and unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution that works for everyone. Each person must find their own balance and define what it means to live at their full potential. There are many roads to personal recovery, whether that involves complete abstinence, moderation, or exploring what recovery means to you. Together, we can uncover the path that aligns with your goals and values using psychoeducation, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. I offer a compassionate, individualized approach to help you navigate this journey and find the strategies that best support your growth and well-being. Addiction specific services include level of care assessments, harm-reduction, abstinence and after-care support, and education and support for family and loved ones.

Anxiety & Depression
I often joke that anxiety and depression go hand in hand—they're like old friends, each stepping in when the other gets tired. Anxiety is persistent and unrelenting, always eager to find a new home or area of focus. It brings with it a host of symptoms, often leaving a trail of disruption in its wake. When paired with depression - or when dealing with either on its own - a person can feel overwhelmed, experiencing a sense of being stuck or weighed down. The good news is, you're not alone—anxiety and depression are among the most common mental health concerns in the country, and both are highly treatable.
We can work together to better understand these feelings and develop tools to manage them. While these experiences can feel isolating, you don’t have to navigate them alone. With the right support and strategies, you can find relief, build resilience, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

Relationships
Our relationships play a significant role in our lives, but sometimes, patterns within them can leave us feeling unfulfilled, stressed, or disconnected. I work with individuals who are navigating relational challenges, including codependency—a dynamic where one's focus on others often overshadows their own needs and well-being. Codependency can look like prioritizing others’ needs at the expense of your own, minimizing or dismissing your emotions, avoiding confrontation, or feeling overly concerned about others’ opinions of you. It might also involve an unhealthy dependence on relationships, fear of losing them, or a build-up of anger and resentment due to unmet needs.
The first step to making healthy changes is to understand the dynamics. Through compassionate exploration, we’ll work to understand these patterns and strengthen self-awareness, build healthier boundaries, and create more fulfilling and balanced connections with others and yourself.
