I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

    As a licensed professional counselor, my journey to this point has been anything but straightforward. I'm not just here to offer guidance; I've walked a similar path myself. Having faced and conquered my own battles with addiction and an eating disorder, I bring a perspective that goes beyond textbooks and theory. I understand the mix of emotions and feelings that come along with these struggles, and I want you to know that you are not alone.

    In our sessions, I am to create a safe space for you to share your innermost thoughts and experiences without fear of judgment, shame or stigma. I understand how difficult it can be to open up, but I promise you will find empathy and understanding here. More importantly, I am here to offer you hope. I have felt the weight of setbacks and the nagging doubts that can creep in, and I want you to know that healing IS possible!

    Together, we will work to create a plan that is as unique as you are. I believe in tailoring our sessions to meet your specific needs and challenges using evidence-based techniques that I have found effective in both my personal and professional life. But it's not just about addressing symptoms; it's about digging deeper to explore the underlying factors contributing to your struggles, such as unresolved trauma and/or emotional neglect/abuse. I am passionate about helping you learn healthier coping strategies and self-care practices because I know how vital they are for lasting and effective change.
