About
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck in patterns of drinking or substance use, self-doubt, or emotional pain - and knows deep down they’re capable of more. They may be battling depression, anxiety, or strained relationships that have been impacted by their struggles. What they want most is to feel whole again - to rebuild trust, regain confidence, and reconnect with the people and goals that truly matter. Together, we work to uncover strengths, heal wounds, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I use a blend of CBT, mindfulness, and supportive talk therapy to help clients process emotions, develop self-awareness, and create practical strategies for managing daily challenges. Sessions are tailored to each individual, fostering resilience, emotional insight, and personal growth.
