For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate substance use, trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, and life's many transitions. Throughout my career, I have learned that meaningful healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted without judgment.
My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I believe every individual possesses unique strengths and the capacity for growth, and I strive to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, develop practical skills, and create lasting change.
My experience working with justice-involved individuals has deepened my understanding of the complex relationship between trauma, addiction, mental health, and the challenges many people face while rebuilding their lives. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing person-centered care that balances compassion with accountability and hope.
In addition to providing therapy, I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of behavioral health professionals through clinical supervision. Helping emerging clinicians grow in confidence, ethical practice, and clinical excellence is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.
Co-founding ForwardMind Wellness Group has allowed me to help create the kind of practice I have always envisioned—one where clients, families, and clinicians feel welcomed, supported, and empowered. Whether you are seeking support for recovery, mental health, trauma, or personal growth, my commitment is to walk alongside you with compassion, respect, and a genuine belief in your ability to heal, grow, and thrive.
