It is common to feel unsure about where to begin or what to look for when seeking support. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. Care is not built through a single decision, but through an ongoing process that unfolds over time.
Questions, uncertainty, and reflection are all part of that process. Support is available to guide your next steps. A phone consult can help you start, with no pressure.

My Path & Perspective
Therapy works best when we drop the clinical masks and simply show up as human beings. Inviting you to step into your unapologetic self requires that I bring that same grounded presence into the room.
Early in my career, facilitating groups and individual sessions across various levels of substance use care, a quiet truth kept making itself known. No matter where a session began, our conversations naturally gravitated toward a shared center: unresolved trauma and the deep impact of dysfunctional family systems. I realized then that substance use, chronic stress, and self-protective patterns rarely exist in isolation—they are deeply human responses to what we have survived.
This realization led me to focus on the powerful nexus where trauma, family dynamics, substance use, and embodiment intersect. Today, I hold profound reverence for those navigating addiction recovery, the loved ones caught in the ripples of systemic dysfunction, and anyone carrying the weight of traumatic lived experience.
My approach is collaborative and relational. You are not glitching in a vacuum; your environment directly shapes your biology, your psychology, and your nervous system. By integrating traditional processing, somatic awareness, and psychedelic-informed harm reduction and integration, we work together to honor your story, regulate your nervous system, and help you return home to yourself.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in relational-cultural, existential, and humanistic traditions. I believe deep, lasting healing happens when safety is co-created, your authentic self is welcomed without judgment, and your lived experience guides our work.
Together, we look beyond symptoms to understand the underlying representative patterns, unresolved trauma, and survival strategies—including substance use and chronic stress—that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you move from self-protective hypervigilance into connection, choice, and embodied relief.
