With a deep passion for breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health, I have dedicated the last nine years to assisting individuals who grapple with the complex interplay of mental health issues and underlying substance abuse. I’ve witnessed how the societal stigma often conceals the very real barriers individuals face in their daily lives. My mission is to empower them with coping skills and strategies that allow them to embrace a life of recovery and resilience. As a therapist, I focus on guiding patients towards building essential skills to overcome their challenges. I believe that mental health issues come in myriad forms, and it is our duty to provide support, unburdened by negative stereotypes and judgment. Together, let’s shatter the silence and create a path towards hope, recovery and well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session will consist of building rapport (getting to know each other) and discuss the circumstances leading to seeking treatment services. The goal will be to determine if it is a good match and what treatment will look like in the future.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is my own life circumstances that brought me to the field. I am in recovery from addiction and alcoholism and utilize self disclosure to empower clients to overcome their own issues.
