Growing up today can feel like a lot. Between school, relationships, family expectations, social media, identity exploration, and planning for the future, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or stuck.

Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

What makes my approach unique is my belief that every young person already possesses strengths, resilience, and wisdom—even when those qualities feel hard to access. Drawing from my background in outdoor experiential therapy and residential treatment programs, I bring creativity, authenticity, and a collaborative spirit to our work together.

My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. A space where shame has less power, curiosity replaces judgment, and growth feels possible. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build practical skills for navigating life's challenges, and help you create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and genuinely your own.

You are not a problem to be solved, but a person to be understood.

  • Great question! A therapist is usually one of a few different credentials: social worker, counselor, or marriage and family therapist. Each has their own graduate degree and licensing board. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) is someone who has completed a Master’s of Social Work program and met the requirements to receive state licensure, which include 2000+ direct client hours, clinical supervision, passing a state licensing exam, and a minimum of two years post-grad practice experience. Once licensed, clinicians meet continuing education requirements for the duration of a their license.

    As a clinical social worker, I operate using systems theory. Systems theory is a foundational perspective in social work that understands people not in isolation, but as part of interconnected systems. Rather than focusing only on an individual’s thoughts or behaviors, systems theory looks at how relationships, environments, and social structures influence well-being.

  • A CADC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor) is someone who completed 150 hours of alcohol and drug education in core counseling areas, accrued 1,000 hours of supervised experience working with people in substance use treatment setting, and passed a national examination for Alcohol & Drug Counselors.

    As a CADC, I have both the education and practical experience to competently support individuals and families affected by substance misuse.
