About My Clients
I specialize in working with individuals ages 13-40 who are experiencing struggles with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, including but not limited to depression and anxiety. I support individuals in developing and implementing healthy coping tools to navigate challenging feelings. I work to empower young adults and adults that are in need of support finding direction and launching into their next phase of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
When providing support to individuals it is imperative to be attentive to both the mind and body. I support my clients in exploring their emotions and challenging their thinking. I partner with individuals to facilitate their journey in increasing their self-esteem, confidence, and develop coping mechanisms so they are able to walk through and overcome challenges. I create a space where teens, young adults feel, and adults safe, empowered, and supported. Every individual deserves a safe space to walk through fear and negative cognitions into personal growth.
