Great to meet you!

I have experience dealing with substance abuse and mental health including anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, mood disorders, and trauma. My goal is to be a resource, while eradicating the stigma associated with help seeking behaviors. Change is often hard, yet in many circumstances necessary and/or required for growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Ever feel alone? Unheard? Like you want to change but you don't know how? I am committed to listening to understand not to respond. I'm committed providing a healing, non-judmental, safe space. Let's begin to unpack your journey together & discover new paths that are aligned with your goals.

What you can expect from our first session

I am here to assist, guide, even challenge while remaining empathetic and open minded. I always strive to create a safe space no matter my personal beliefs, opinion, biases.
