Addiction has many faces, and can be seen as a function of the human experience, often the most efficient means someone's found so far for seeking comfort and satisfaction or alleviating pain. While powerful, the benefits are often outlived by the harm it ultimately creates.

Addiction has many faces, and may be the most efficient means you've found so far in seeking comfort and satisfaction or alleviating pain. While powerful, the benefits are often outlived by the harm addiction ultimately creates. I have gained a deep understanding of the very human experience of addiction and comprehensive nature of recovery through my degree in Integrated Behavioral Health, working in multiple levels of substance use disorder (SUD) care, and coming to understand it in my life.

As a Neurodiverse therapist, a central part of my work is normalizing, celebrating and uplifting those with diverse brains. In my own late-diagnosed journey, I've gained a wealth of both personal and clinical competence, and find it incredibly rewarding to partner with others as they come to understand their own brain and experiences. I'm candid in my advocacy, aiming to challenge others’ ideas of neurodivergent existences and create a more inclusive world for diverse brains.

I've had the privilege of working with women/ non-binary/ 2S/ LGBTQIA+ people from a multitude of backgrounds across a variety of care settings. Across all of these I've noticed a common thread; we are often under-supported, under-appreciated, and under-estimated, by both others and ourselves. I use my experience, education and training in areas of perinatal and gender-specific health, relational wellness and oppressive-trauma-informed care to empower and embolden my clients in their healing.
