Is it time to get some help with making a change in your life? Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns despite trying your best to do something different? My goal is to support and help individuals to become their best selves, whether it be to increase self-esteem, work through trauma issues from your past, or address your struggles with a bad habit or addiction. I have 20+ years of experience in working in addictions and working with people in various stages of readiness. I also support family members who have a loved one struggling with an addiction with a focus on finding hope and strength in this difficult situation.
My work focuses on moving towards a more confident you, to help feel better about yourself and allow you to cope with struggles such as addictions, anger, anxiety, depression or life changes. I am passionate about helping people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress of traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences.
Therapy is the place to become the best version of yourself and I believe that successful counseling outcome is the client’s commitment to the counseling process coupled with a connection to a supportive and a direct therapist. If you think you are ready to take the first step towards a positive change, I encourage you to take that step today.
