I grew up in a family that didn't talk about mental health, and yet mental health touched every aspect of my life! Through my own mental health journey, I discovered that the human mind is a marvelous tool with so much power and potential locked inside, but the vast majority of us never learn how to unlock it. I have worked in various drug and alcohol treatment centers and inpatient psychiatric facilities as well as school districts and homeless shelters. My typical clients suffer from addiction, trauma, anxiety, or eating disorders. I also have experience working with postpartum mamas and those walking through marital difficulties.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and house cleaning items, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

Having worked with addiction and mental illness for over 10 years, I have found that the relationship between therapist and client to be the most powerful tool in your healing process. I am all about connection and creating a shame-free space for you to bring your issues and be your most authentic self.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with individuals suffering with addiction, eating disorders, and trauma history. My clients have already done the hard part, asking for help. They are eager to heal and willing to do some work outside of session. What difference do you want to see in yourself as a result of our work together? Visualize this.
