Is substance use starting to affect your life? Do you find it hard to love your body? Are medical stressors taking a toll on your mental health? Life knows how to hand out challenge after challenge. It can be hard to know what to do when you have just had enough. I focus on personal strengths and believe in meeting clients where they are at and working at their own pace. Mental health distress becomes much more manageable with some awareness and perspective. I am here to help with that.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addiction Counselor that specializes in addiction, eating disorders, chronic illness, and co-occurring mental health issues. I am also trained in Brainspotting and use a trauma-informed approach in all of my work.
My inspiration to become a therapist stems from my own journey which includes substance use and eating disorder recovery, type 1 diabetes, and an immune disorder. I feel called to support others as they adapt to the difficulties of caring for their bodies after a difficult diagnosis
