Biography: For the past 14 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people on their healing journeys. I specialize in addiction and mental health therapy and have a down to earth approach to the counseling relationship. You are the expert of your own life, and I believe you have all the necessary skills to get where you want to go. My job is to help you get there through empathy, challenging negative thinking patterns, and ultimately accepting and embracing your individualism. If you've ever felt like you're missing something, the instruction manual to life that you were never given, I hope to help you find your answers. If you find yourself suffering from extreme emotions, repeating patterns you know are toxic for you, and you don't know how to cope or change, that's what I'm here for. If the whole world seems to be falling apart, and to deal with the fear, you or someone you love are trying to manage through unhealthy addictions, I can guide you to new skills for more flexibility. You wish you could just breathe, that things didn't seem so hard. You want to achieve goals you set for yourself and your future. You hope to rebuild damaged relationships and create healthy new ones. You want to deal with your stress instead of staying numb. You want to feel like it's worth getting up everyday and that your life has purpose and fulfillment. I have worked with several people having these thoughts and feelings and have experienced much of the same myself. I am passionate about helping others work through these challenges and making sure you know you're not alone.
