I have worked with; substance users, people who are unhoused, victims of trauma, families experiencing trauma, LGBTQ+, refugees, and many other types of issues individuals experience in life. I appreciate what others undergo and I personally consider it an honor to sit across from someone and promote healthy choices and give validation and reassurance for their desire to improve their life. I am a solution-style therapist that focuses on how a person can rediscover their true sense of self and purpose.

It's wonderful that you took the first step to feeling better. Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by feelings of sadness? Maybe you often experience a general sense of discontent. Are you struggling with a major transition? Or perhaps you can't stop thinking about all the things that could go wrong. If you can relate to any of these scenarios, you're not alone.

I am passionate about recovery and being of service. I believe effectiveness is the measure of truth and if you can conceive it you can achieve it. I utilize a comprehensive approach to dealing with life on life's terms. I specialize in treating addiction as a disease in mind, body, and spirit. Happiness is something we find along the way, not something we get at the end of the rainbow. When the pain of staying the same outweighs the fear of change then change will occur. Sometimes we feel powerless and our lives become unmanageable so it's important to find support and guidance to help create a life you don't need to escape from.
