Areas of Expertise
Therapeutic Approach
What sets my work apart is the balance of compassion, structure, and real-world experience I bring to every session. With 15 years in behavioral health, diversion services, domestic violence intervention, and substance use assessments, I understand the complex intersection between personal struggles, legal requirements, and family safety. My approach is unique because I combine clinical insight with practical, step-by-step guidance that helps clients not just understand their situation—but move forward with confidence. Clients appreciate that I am straightforward yet supportive, nonjudgmental yet accountable, and always focused on safety, clarity, and meaningful change. I meet clients exactly where they are, provide clear expectations, and walk with them through every part of the process—whether it’s completing a SAP evaluation, navigating ADSAC, rebuilding relationships, or creating a safer environment at home. My goal is to help you feel supported, respected, and empowered to take the next right step.
