We listen, act, and transform
My mission in life is to inspire and support individuals in realizing their fullest potential, celebrating their authentic selves, and nurturing a profound appreciation for who they are. I am dedicated to motivating others to place a strong emphasis on their holistic well-being—mentally, emotionally, and physically—while encouraging them to chase their aspirations and dreams with relentless passion. Through my actions, words, and personal journey, I strive to cultivate a positive and nurturing atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to express their struggles, embrace their uniqueness, and lead lives rich with purpose, happiness, and satisfaction.
With my lived experience and more than two decades of counseling individuals facing substance use issues, I am well-prepared to engage with a wide range of individuals. My approach centers on person-centered therapy, allowing me to listen to each client’s narrative without judgment. I also incorporate a blend of other therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift negative thought patterns and somatic therapy, as I believe that our bodies can retain trauma in various physical forms.
As a therapist, I enjoy working with adults over eighteen, including individuals, couples, parents, and especially adults over fifty.
