Congratulations on taking an important first step in helping yourself live a happier, healthier life. I've proudly been in the helping profession as a LPC and LCADC for over 25 years, working with people who are either thinking about or wanting to make changes in their lives. I work with adults with mental health and addiction issues as well as people experiencing overwhelming emotions that prevent them from living their best lives.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that you need to have everything figured out.

With advanced training in both Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University, along with over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma, and substance use disorders. I understand that symptoms rarely exist in isolation, which is why I take the time to understand the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms.

I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live.

Whether you're looking for therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, my approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. My goal is not only to help you feel better in the short term, but to help you build lasting insight, resilience, and confidence so that you can continue thriving long after our work together.

The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.

With a background in both clinical leadership and community-based care, I focus on treating the whole person, addressing mental health, substance use, and the social factors that affect well-being. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to work alongside you to find realistic, compassionate, and evidence-based solutions.
