About

The pressures of the modern world seem never ending, particularly when you deal with an untreated or difficult to treat mental health or substance use disorder. Whether it is postpartum depression/anxiety/psychosis, general depression/anxiety, self harm, psychosis, or difficulty coping with the struggles of chemical dependency, I am prepared to assist you in offering helpful coping strategies, understanding the psychology behind your experiences/symptoms, processing feelings and thoughts, and gaining better traction on your life. I enjoy working with families, parents, and even adolescents struggling with mental health issues. My specialty is in mental health disorders and substance use (dual diagnosis). I have worked with individuals impacted by cycles of trauma, violence, and substances in various settings including psychiatric hospitals, county jail, intensive outpatient programs, and traditional outpatient clinics. My mission? Help people thrive despite these circumstances. I understand that both making sense of the issue(s) at hand and reaching out is incredibly anxiety producing. What I provide is a safe and warm space where you can explore your needs, current feelings, history, and goals. You have the power to stop fighting what is out of your control, and harness your power to control what is just within your grasp.
