As a dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping others, I found my calling in the field of clinical psychology, driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those struggling with addiction and trauma. My journey began as a CADC-certified alcohol and drug counselor, where I provided treatment for substance use disorders at CADA and Casa Serena. Through this work, I developed a strong commitment to guiding individuals and families toward recovery from the devastating effects of addiction.

Recognizing the deep-seated trauma that often underlies addictive behaviors, I returned to school to earn a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, equipping myself to address these complex issues more comprehensively. During my extensive training and internship, I honed my expertise in treating anxiety, couples, trauma, and addiction.

I believe that disconnection from oneself often leads to disconnection from life and others, and my goal is to help you reconnect, fostering a healthier, happier life and stronger relationships. I offer compassionate support for individuals and couples navigating challenging times, whether related to addiction, intimacy, communication, or life transitions. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor, and fully trained in EMDR to treat trauma. My goal is to help you not only feel better but live better.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, blending attachment theory and neuropsychology with evidence-based methods like CBT, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy. This combination aims to build resilience, improve relationships, regulate emotions, enhance communication, and promote healthy coping mechanisms. Additionally, I am trained in Gottman Method couples therapy and Nurturing Parenting.

Whether in our comfortable office or via telehealth, I provide a safe, supportive environment where you can process life’s challenges. I deeply understand the pain caused by addiction, anxiety, relationship struggles, and intense emotions, and I am here to help ease that pain, guiding you toward becoming your best self. I also facilitate an ongoing group for partners of betrayal. My fee is $250 per session.
