About

I specialize in evidence-based mental health treatment using cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing to help clients work through anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Drawing on my training in addiction counseling, I work with individuals navigating substance use issues and co-occurring mental health challenges through a compassionate, strengths-based lens. I'm available for telehealth sessions and focus on practical, actionable techniques you can apply between our appointments.

Services offered

I provide telehealth counseling for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing techniques. My sessions focus on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that maintain emotional distress, then building practical coping strategies tailored to your specific situation. I work with clients managing dual diagnoses—such as depression alongside substance use—and those processing significant life changes or trauma. A typical telehealth session lasts 50 minutes and includes collaborative goal-setting, skill-building exercises, and personalized between-session work to support lasting change.
