I love working with teens 16+, individuals, and couples. I am passionate about working through addiction issues and the resulting codependency/boundaries, guilt, and shame. Have you been struggling with a narcissist in your life resulting in self-worth issues? Do you struggle with spiritual issues such as trauma, cult affiliation, or confusion? I know how complicated these struggles are and I would be honored to walk with you through the mess and out to the other side. I meet each person where they are and if allowed I use God and Scripture to empower clients to see their potential and to find their identity and freedom in Christ.
I am authentic & build rapport quickly with my clients by being personable, compassionate and Christ-centered. I am a wife & mom & have lived experiences that make me relatable. My style is direct but I do like to be fun & use humor to break the ice knowing that sometimes laughter is great medicine.
Being vulnerable can be scary. I know the biggest weapon against shame is empathy. If you're seeking freedom from bondage & hope for your future, I would be happy to meet with you where ever you are in your journey. I have 6 years of addiction counseling experience and can offer aftercare treatment once you've completed residential services.
