About Me

Feeling trapped by your thoughts and worries is isolating, especially when multiple struggles overlap and reinforce each other. My work is dedicated to providing a clear path out, even when the picture feels messy or complicated. I'm drawn to complex cases—the ones that don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis or treatment manual.

I have extensive experience working with individuals in recovery from substance use and addiction, and before becoming a therapist, I conducted research on emotion regulation, shame, and addiction. That background informs how I practice: understanding the whole picture while focusing on what will actually help you move forward.

My approach isn't about simply "managing" symptoms; it's about fundamentally changing your relationship with them. I use evidence-based methods like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT, integrated with acceptance and compassion-focused approaches.

The goal is to help you step out of those mental loops that consume your time and energy, allowing you to reclaim your attention and devote it to what truly matters—the things that bring you meaning.

Outside of the office, I'm focused on those same meaningful things: spending quality time with my family and getting outside to clear my head on the disc golf course. I also believe healing shouldn't be a mystery. My writing explores the science of change—making evidence-based principles accessible to anyone curious about how minds heal.
