Everyone has the power to heal, though sometimes it gets buried and we need help to rediscover our wholeness. My passion and life's work revolve around supporting others as they find their path to a more fulfilling life. Based on my own lived experience, I deeply understand the challenges of maintaining balance and breaking free from unhelpful patterns. I have dual license in addiction and mental health counseling with over 25 years of experience in behavioral health. I've had the privilege of working with people of all ages, from adolescents to adults, in both mental health and addiction treatment programs. The most rewarding work for me is with those experiencing chronic relapse and addictions driven by trauma. Addiction can be arrested and recovery is possible. In counseling, I offer a range of approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Experiential Therapy, among others. Understanding that we all express ourselves differently, my office is equipped with various expressive tools, like art supplies and a sand tray, to help you communicate in the way that feels most natural to you.
