You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much on your own. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or substance use and want a safe, nonjudgmental space to be heard. You’re looking to understand your patterns, heal from past pain, and build practical tools to feel more in control. Your goal is emotional balance, healthier relationships, confidence, and a life that feels fulfilling rather than just surviving.

I’m a person in long-term recovery, which means I’ve been substance-free since July 13th, 2016. My experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating eventually became a substance use disorder—and ultimately led me to a deeper purpose in the counseling field. I understand the weight of isolation, low self-worth, and the struggle to feel “okay.” If you’re dealing with anxiety, self-image issues, substance use, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, I offer not just professional tools—but personal understanding. I can help you feel less alone.
