Thank you for taking time to read my profile. Please access my WEBSITE to enter insurance info. I am the owner & primary therapist at Mind Elevation Keys for Overcomers MEKO, LLC.

I am certified at the local, national and international levels to serve as an Advanced Chemical Addictions Counselor.

We work collaboratively to achieve your goals. I believe in allowing people to tell their own story, while providing the validation and support needed to move them towards healing and recovery. I believe in treating people with dignity and respect while meeting them exactly where they are. You will experience the freedom of letting your guards down, while maintaining a sense of safety and security. You are free to be true authentic self.
