About Me.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist who works with teens, young adults, and adults navigating substance use, eating struggles, and relationship patterns that can feel hard to break. My approach is attachment-based, psychodynamic, and narrative, which means we’ll explore how your past experiences shape how you see yourself and connect with others today.

​

I believe healing looks different for everyone. Through a harm reduction lens, I meet you where you are—whether you’re working toward abstinence, moderation, recovery, or simply finding safer, more compassionate ways to cope.

 

In our work together, we’ll make sense of your story, tend to the parts of you that have been carrying pain or shame, and build more trust and connection—both within yourself and in your relationships. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you can feel understood, empowered, and supported in moving toward the life you want.
