I have worked in the mental health industry for 20-plus years. I use several therapeutic approaches that allow myself and my clients, to get to the bottom of their challenges and find their best self. My main goal is for the client to see how amazing they are and to not live or see life through a critical, distorted lens. Life can be a challenge, but you are worth the work.

I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with trauma and/or addiction. I understand how trauma has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief, but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.
