About My Clients

Are you someone who experiences anxiety? Is it hard to get out of bed somedays? Do you have a history of substance use, trauma, or have you recently experienced a crisis that you have not had time to process yet? I know these feelings all too well. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use can all seem really scary and overwhelming to navigate. I am here to help you take steps, at a pace that is comfortable for you, to help regain some feelings of control and balance in your life.

My Background and Approach

Serving individuals who are using substances, experiencing mental health crises, and surviving all forms of trauma has taught me that patience, creativity and lots of intentional care are required when offering support. I work from the mindset that each individual is the expert of their story and their experience; and that with the proper social, emotional, and systemic supports, individuals can change the trajectory of their lives. I am committed to acknowledging the ways race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation impact our lives and the ways systems fail to support us. I practice harm reduction, and will always encourage individuals to set realistic, healthy, achievable goals for themselves. I am knowledgeable about trauma and its continuous impact on our lives, and am ready to help individuals unpack that trauma in a way and at a pace that feels safe for them.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that our human capacity to hold pain and suffering is overwhelming; that we can tend to hold so much on our own just because we can. I also believe that healing comes when we can start to work through the pain and the suffering. I believe that individuals can change their habits, can learn healthy coping skills, and can learn about and process through the ways their identity is unsupported by larger systems. I too have survived trauma, have navigated unhealthy relationships, and live with anxiety and depression. I know how difficult it can be, and I know how possible it is to be happy and feel in control despite these obstacles. I would love to support other individuals in doing the same.
