A little about me
Therapy that meets you where you are
I'm a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, Master Clinical Social Worker and Addictions Counselor with a deep belief that healing isn't about fixing what's broken — it's about reconnecting with what's already whole. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in genuine human connection. Whether you're carrying years of weight or navigating something new, I'm here to walk alongside you.
How I can help
Finding your footing, one step at a time
Depression & Anxiety
At Root of It, LLC, you'll receive an empathetic professional evaluation regarding your anxiety and depression. Together we'll identify the source of your struggles and build a soothing therapeutic relationship that moves you forward in life.
Trauma & Healing
Trauma lives in the body and the story we tell ourselves. Using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, we gently process what's been carried too long.
Life Transitions
Grief, career changes, relationship shifts, identity questions — transitions can feel destabilizing. Therapy offers a steady place to land while you find your new ground.
Addiction & Substance Abuse
As a Provisionally Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (PLADC), I support individuals working through alcohol use, drug abuse, and substance dependency — with compassion, not judgment.
What to expect in sessions
Targeted counseling that meets your real needs.
Every session is purposeful. Together, we work through what's holding you back and build the skills and clarity to move forward.
Conflict resolution
Whether the tension is within yourself or with others, we work through internal and external conflict with honesty and care.
Grief counseling
Loss takes many forms. We create space to grieve fully — without rushing, without judgment — so healing can begin.
Finding meaning
When life feels directionless, therapy helps you reconnect with what matters and rediscover a sense of purpose.
Changing harmful behaviors
We identify patterns that no longer serve you and gently work to understand where they come from and how to shift them.
Building healthy new behaviors
Real change is built one small step at a time. We establish sustainable habits and routines that support your long-term wellness.
