Someone once said, "The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage." Sometimes it is both challenging and absolutely terrifying to invite a perfect stranger into one's space that doesn't appear to be as "put together" as we would like, especially when what has one "falling apart" is substance use. I am of the belief that with a focused mind, determined spirit, and faith, there is no trip DOWN you can't fall UP from.

Recognizing the strength it takes to seek help, I provide a safe and open space where you can freely express your struggles. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges and view yourself as victorious, not a victim.
