I have lived experience with addiction.
Welcome. Good mental health is essential to a happy life. It affects the depth and quality of all our relationships. It allows us to love our lives and the people closest to us deeply. Living life with a sense of purpose and meaning is essential. Sometimes, things can get in the way, and we have trouble getting around them. There is a way to get past almost anything. With effort and determination, I have witnessed some fantastic breakthroughs and life changes. If you're willing, a better life awaits.

My expertise and interest lies in supporting people with navigating the outcomes of various forms of trauma, neurodivergence, addiction, violence, and mental health concerns, including the ways in which these issues connect with one another.
For over 25 years, trauma has been a consistent thread woven throughout the experiences of those I have served in the course of my social work practice. I have been privileged to support a variety of people across a diverse range of ages and needs in both community and institutional settings. As a result of my personal and professional experiences, I have come to believe that adversity is a call to growth and that everyone has the requisite resources/skills to achieve their goals.

I help clients dealing with Addiction, BPD, Depression, Anxiety, Emotion Regulation, and identifying coping mechanisms.
I work with people who are struggling with intense emotions like mood swings, emptiness, or deep sadness, and those who feel stuck in unhealthy relationships or life patterns. Some of my clients have faced difficult past experiences that make it hard to trust others, feel secure, or connect deeply in relationships. They might carry a sense of shame or guilt, often feel anxious or on edge, and struggle with feeling safe or understood. Many also turn to substances as a way to cope with these overwhelming feelings, leading to challenges with addiction. In addition, they may be dealing with big life changes.
