I take a laid-back approach to empowering you and helping you take back your life. I specialize in helping clients move through anxiety, depression, substance abuse, self-esteem, social problems, relationship/family difficulties, life changes and other challenges. I love working with clients who are motivated to change and ready to move past their obstacles. I want to help clients get to the root of their problems and make their lives better. I love working with clients of all ages and genders who are navigating through changes, transitions and looking to grow. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Sociology; I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNCS), school social worker, and a certified life coach. I have a passion for working with those in recovery; I am well-versed in addiction, cross-addictions, the impact addiction has on the whole family and the recovery process; I have extensive knowledge of the 12-step approach. I also enjoy exploring the impact of our nutrition and diets on our mood/emotions; if you are open to exploring holistic and nutrition based treatment plans, let me know!

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

Our first session is completely client led and focused on you and your healing; I will as you to share anything you would like to help me understand who you are, what has you here today and what you'd like to work on. Some clients share experiences with other types of counseling or other ways they have sought help. Feel free to be as open as you can so I can get to know you better. I will also share a little about myself and what makes me different; by the end of the first session, my goal is to feel comfortable with each other so we know we will be a great fit!

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

We live in a world where it looks like everyone has it all together like they've cracked the code to life and they are truly living their best life; in reality, it's all a highlight reel, most people are making it day by day in search of "more" and that comparison game has the ability to stop us in our tracks. I love working with clients to find those insecurities, those exaggerations or lies we tell ourself, and help them find their truths. I connect with and work well with those clients who are searching for a sense of belonging and relief from the baggage they carry. I want to give you back that life you've been longing to live and help you love yourself and the life you live.
