I enjoy helping clients heal and being able to provide a safe space to express themselves and feel validated without judgement. I want to help people and make a difference in my community; I want to help ease the emotional burdens and empower others and guide them through dark times.

It feels good knowing that your work makes a difference. I’m the type of person who’s up for an adventure and enjoys something new every day. With counseling, I’m always growing and learning about both myself and others. Each day brings something different, and each client provides me with a new perspective.

I entered the mental health field to share hope and healing with others that are on their own personal path to wholeness. I am honored with the opportunity to come alongside people as they navigate through this journey called life.

My decision to become a counselor was deeply personal and rooted in both my own experiences with mental health challenges and witnessing their impact on loved ones and communities. Coming from a background where mental health and substance use concerns were rarely discussed—and often viewed as taboo—I saw firsthand the barriers to support and the silence that surrounds these struggles. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career where I could not only advocate for greater awareness and access to care but also connect with others on a deeply human level. My own journey with trauma and healing allows me to bring empathy, authenticity, and a sense of shared understanding into the therapeutic space.

I believe all people are built differently, deserve respect and deserve to be heard. I am empathetic and have worked with various backgrounds, cultures and mental health for over 15 years, and now I am happily working in addictions at Recovery Unlimited. I am certified in DBT, and an eclectic therapist; for the most effective treatment that I utilize, I address my client’s unique individual needs and match them with the therapy that works for them. I am my authentic self and believe my clients should feel safe to do the same. I carefully listen and support my clients in processing events of the past, dealing with the present and looking towards a rich and meaningful life.

Recovery Unlimited has a great atmosphere and I enjoy working with people who really care. I started this work because I wanted to help others find that there is hope to change their lives no matter how bad it has been in the past.

I like to believe that transformation is possible and I see it happen every day. I am motivated to help the family system and the individual learn healthy means of dealing with mental health, substance abuse, and emotional difficulties.

It is my joy to help individuals recognize their potential and find new meaning and purpose in life. Some of the greatest success stories come from humble beginnings and chapters that are filled with trials. Therapy is an opportunity to take back ownership of your story and reframe how you view life’s challenges and your lived experiences. I enjoy using a combination of CBT, Reality Therapy and Existential Therapy interventions to help individuals on their recovery journey to heal from substance use and mental health related issues. I am experienced in community-based outpatient settings, youth inpatient services, autism therapy and spiritual care. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals as you take these next steps toward healing and recovery.

I have been working in this field for a few years and bring a unique, well-rounded perspective to the healing process. As a counselor and a registered nurse for nearly 29 years, I have experience supporting individuals with medical conditions as well as those facing addiction and mental health struggles. I am deeply committed to holistic transformation and recovery, recognizing the importance of healing the body, mind, and spirit. I am passionate about helping individuals develop healthier ways of coping with mental health challenges, substance use, and emotional difficulties. In addition to my clinical and counseling background, I hold degrees in nutrition and health coaching, which allow me to incorporate whole-person wellness in the recovery process.

Bio Coming Soon

I am an Addiction Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate substance use challenges and build meaningful, lasting recovery. I specialize in providing evidence-based care through individual and group counseling, including Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and psychodynamic approaches. My work focuses on addressing underlying thought patterns, emotional regulation, and behavioral change while supporting clients in developing practical life skills. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to take ownership of their recovery. My approach is client-centered, integrating accountability, structure, and compassion to help individuals move toward stability, purpose, and long term wellness.

I am a Mental Health Therapist specializing in trauma and substance use recovery, with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families through crisis, healing, and rebuilding their lives. My background includes extensive work in crisis centers, domestic violence advocacy in collaboration with law enforcement, and participation on Sexual Assault Response Teams (SART), where I provided court accompaniment and direct survivor support. I have also served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and spent four years with Child Protective Services as a senior case manager. In addition to direct clinical work, I have contributed to a domestic violence task force and held leadership roles focused on survivor advocacy and family stabilization. I use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and DBT skills to help clients better understand their patterns, regulate emotions, and build safer, more empowered lives. I was honored to receive a Tribute to Women Award for my advocacy work. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing is possible and that individuals and families can rebuild safety, stability, and hope.

I am currently developing my clinical skills in substance use treatment and enjoy learning how to support individuals in their recovery journeys. I value creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and free from judgment. I bring a multicultural and multilingual background, along with a foundation in chemistry, which helps me approach care with both cultural awareness and analytical thinking. I am passionate about helping others build insight, develop coping skills, and strengthen their sense of hope and stability. My goal is to grow as a clinician so I can empower individuals to make positive changes and support their long-term recovery.
