It takes courage to ask for help. If you're reading this then you’ve already taken the first step toward healing, and I applaud you for that. I am a licensed independent social worker and a licensed independent chemical dependency counselor with over 15 years of experience with individuals and groups from many different backgrounds and settings. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, addiction, and personality disorders. I'm interested in your mental health and overall recovery. There are a lot of therapies out there that claim to be ‘the’ way, but I find that if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

There are so many of us who have felt like outsiders our entire lives, pretending to be someone else to fit in. It might be because of Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, CPTSD), or your body size or the traumas that have lead you to feel that no one would understand or accept who you really are. The truth is that changing to fit in isn't the solution. You deserve to accept who you are right now. You can learn more supportive ways of coping or communicating, but the essence of who you are is worthy and deserving of love.

Are you a former gifted kid struggling to fulfill your potential due to debilitating perfectionism? Have therapists told you you're "so self-aware" or that you've "graduated" therapy because they've tried all they know, but you're still not feeling any better? You probably already know your attachment style, you know all the basic coping skills, you know your "problems" inside and out...but somehow this hasn't helped you make any meaningful progress. You're ready to finally alchemize emotions that have been stagnant for too long, and you need someone who will be in the trenches with you, not just tell you what to do.
