My desire and passion are to assist individuals in overcoming the barriers that these adversities have caused and to empower them to realize the potential within them to navigate life with the appropriate tools and resources in order to achieve emotional and mental well-being. My goal is to assist individuals with recognizing that they can achieve wholeness.

I am eager to help those who feel there is no way they can help themselves. Sometimes it’s a matter of changing one’s mindset and eventually unpleasant behavior will respond in kind.

I am an encourager and believe that empowerment is fundamental in any journey of our lives.

Knowing your triggers for both addictions and trauma is an important step to getting back on the right track. Together we will take it one step at a time. There is no judgment only good vibes and getting the help you need.

Navigating the world is tough enough, but when you add being Neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, a single parent, a minority, or any number of marginalized identities on top of it the weight can appear unbearable. The effect our individual identities can have on our home life, job, social life, and our very sense of self can make dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting struggles, or engaging in self-care seem like a daunting task. We all strive for whole wellness but that looks different for everybody. The whole wellness you desire is not out of reach.
