Do you want to make changes in your life? Do you ever feel anxious, depressed, disconnected or alone? Do you sometimes drink or use substances more than you intended or had trouble stopping use once you started? Would you like help on how to make a change? With more than 14 years of experience in the substance use disorder and mental health field, I can help. Together we can identify the problems you'd like to solve, find solutions and create goals to guide the way. I can offer listening, coping skills, education, humor, validation and most of all - hope! Let's do this together. I'm excited to meet you.
I can help by providing a safe place to grow and work on issues to improve your life, by your own definition. My values of connection, communication, authenticity and growth will help you feel safe and validated. I am honest and straightforward, and enjoy using humor to help you see new perspectives. I operate with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
You're already making an investment in yourself by thinking of getting help. Be proud of yourself and give yourself grace. Please give me a call or email me to talk further. We will discuss what it's like to be in therapy so you're comfortable. Our sessions can be via telehealth, in person or a mixture of the two. I am so excited to work with you!
