LCSW | Therapist | Human | Fellow Work-in-Progress
You’re not just looking for relief—you’re searching for peace, purpose, and a life you don’t need to escape from.
Asking for help is hard—especially when you’ve been the one holding everything together. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Therapy is about being seen, heard, and supported as you take the next step toward healing. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk with you.
You might be carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or deep self-doubt.
You’ve tried to hold it together for so long that even reaching out feels like a risk. You want more than just symptom relief—you want freedom. You’re tired of surviving and ready to begin the work of truly living. Even if you don’t fully believe change is possible yet, you’re willing to hope.
I specialize in addiction, trauma, and anyone struggling to live life on life’s terms. I will help you uncover what’s keeping you stuck, challenge old patterns, and build lasting change. Together, we’ll create a space where growth feels possible and healing becomes real.

90 Days Later: Feeling Strong Even When Things Are Hard
I haven’t written anything in exactly 90 days. That wasn’t on purpose, but it feels fitting to pick back up on a round number. Exciting news: I PASSED MY LCSW EXAM! By the end of January 2026, I’ll officially be an LCSW. It’s been a long journey, and I’m so grateful...
Lessons from the Wrong Side of the Road
I got in about 20 minutes ago from a run — jog-walk, really. My legs are a bit achy. I pushed myself today, and I’m proud of that. Something noteworthy happened while I was out that I want to write about while I’m sitting here in my workout chair. It happened on the...
The Gratitude Chair
I ran today. What I mean by “run” is “jog as far as I can, walk until I can breathe, and then try again.” But here’s the thing: when I run, I find myself practicing mindfulness more than I do at almost any other time. I notice squirrels. Cardinals. Kids, cats, plants,...
Do It Anyway
I’m sitting in what I call my “workout chair.” It’s the chair I collapse into after a workout — the one where I catch my breath, rest, and just enjoy the sensation of sitting down. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about this journey I’m on. I’m getting closer to my...
A Letter to Clients
First, I want to say welcome — and commend your bravery for reaching out for help. No matter what you’re dealing with, asking for help is hard. Vulnerability is an uncomfortable place to be, and asking for help creates immediate vulnerability… “I’m not perfect. I...
