About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck or paralyzed? Are overwhelming thoughts and struggling motivation getting you down? Don't hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to discuss how I can help. I work with individuals of all genders and sexual orientations, specializing in addiction and Trauma. I aim to foster a feeling of safety through compassionate listening, drawing from evidence-based interventions, and using personal experience to design each session.

My Background and Approach

I am dedicated to helping individuals achieve their healing objectives, and I am confident that those who put in the work will achieve their desired outcomes. I am trauma-informed, which means I am trained to focus less on "what is wrong" and more on "what has occurred." I leverage a range of interventions to devise practical solutions to meet your challenges.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

People can change and grow as long as you are willing to work. I know this to be true from experience working with many clients. Please message me, and let us learn more about how I can help.
