My own history includes trauma, abandonment, significant loss, chronic pain, and grief. For many of us, life is an ongoing struggle, with moments of joy, beauty, and love sprinkled in. I've only been able to move through the dark times — and my own self-destructive patterns born out of suffering — because I had people who stayed with me through the hardest seasons. I bring that same steadiness to my work with clients.
My goal is to get to know you and help you discover what you actually need at this point in your life — not a one-size-fits-all plan. I draw on EMDR, ACT, trauma-informed care, evidence-based addiction treatment, and spiritual direction, depending on what fits you best. I have both clinical training and personal experience with substance misuse, and I integrate spiritual direction for those who want to connect with the deeper, more meaningful parts of life and of themselves.
Expect to be seen, heard, and accepted from the start. You'll likely laugh at some point, you may cry, and you'll definitely be challenged. My hope is that over time you'll experience real healing, growth, and freedom from whatever's been holding you back from a meaningful, purposeful life.
