About My Clients
I work with individuals who have histories of trauma, OCD/anxiety attacks, chronic pain, addictions, codependency, and more. I believe we all desire to find healing in our journeys, and often will try to do anything to try to avoid pain, trauma, confrontation, and loneliness, but going through it with someone by your side lessens the blow; and I'm here to help! Together, I can help you find joy along the journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about supporting and empowering my clients and reminding my clients of the strength they already possess within themselves! I've been in the recovery community and am familiar with the 12-step approaches for addictions. I also have learned how important it is for myself as a therapist, to do my own mental health work to equip me to meet my clients where they are! :) I believe that our pain and struggles refine us like a fire refines gold! Our pain/struggles aren't in vain; they all have deep meanings if we allow it to be the catalyst for change in our life. I believe you can change whatever you desire to change.
