I am here to meet you where you are in your desire to effect positive changes in your life. I am an experienced clinician working with individuals who are co-occurring having mental health symptoms and substance use. Together we can make a plan and help navigate you towards recovery. I specialize in helping you to develop healthy coping skills, prevention of use, exploring root causes and helping individuals be the best person they desire to become. I provide professional and skilled assessments, group and individual sessions.
I have been a counselor since 2012, working with various individuals to achieve their highest goals in recovery. I am passionate about making you feel welcome, warm, valued, comfortable & encouraged through this process. My experience as a counselor and supervisor has afforded me the ability to work with the best - which includes you.
Recovery can be challenging and I want you to know you are not alone. I would love to work with you collaboratively to acquire the quality of life you desire all while making you feel honored and respected as you achieve your personal goals. My plan is to engage and partner with you every step of the way in your healing journey.
