About My Clients

I have been working in the addiction field for the last decade of my life which has included working with clients from all walks of life with various life challenges and mental health concerns. I enjoy working with all different types of people as I believe we are all living our own unique experience and all are welcome. My goal is to teach you how to become your own therapist.

My Background and Approach

I am an LMFT, LPCC, and SUDCC IV. I have extensive experience with substance abuse, spiritual awakenings, depression, anxiety, and addictions of all types including food, toxic situations, and self-sabotage. I provide a non judgmental environment that you can feel to fully express and be yourself. I believe in helping my clients explore who they truly are at their core, what their triggers are, how to stop repeating loops, and how to shift their perspective on themselves and their life. I use an eclectic approach as I believe each individual is unique and will need tools best suited to them. My main focus when working with clients is helping them shift their perspective and learn to see their life and themselves differently.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

This thing called life can be beautiful, but it can also be extremely challenging to say the least. I believe we are all just doing the best we can or the best we know how to at the time. We live in a world that requires us to play so many different roles that we can easily lose sight of who we truly are at our core. We often have unrealistic expectations of ourselves and sometimes others that put strain on our well-being and relationships. Learning how to find new perspectives and see life through a different lens can change our life more than most of us realize. Learning how to be fully and authentically ourselves can open us up to a whole new way of being. Stress, trauma, and different challenging life experiences can shape us more than we ever thought possible. When we learn to identify how they have shaped us and begin to allow ourselves to heal, the person looking back in the mirror may not be easily recognized.
