Therapy participants at Say More MHC are likely women or those exploring their relationship with alcohol or drug use, seeking empowerment and personal growth. You may be experiencing issues related to gender inequality, societal pressures, stigma, addiction or personal trauma. You may be seeking to understand and challenge the systemic factors affecting your mental health or drug use to reclaim your voice and autonomy for a healthier lifestyle.
I provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship where your experiences and perspectives are validated and respected. We can explore identity, relationships, and life choices through the lens of feminist theory while incorporating other evidence based practices like motivational interviewing, DBT & CBT to reach your specific goals.
I understand how challenging it can be to navigate life’s difficulties, especially when dealing with issues like substance use or emotional struggles. I’m here to offer a supportive, empowering environment where your experiences are validated and your strengths are nurtured. Together, we can work towards your goals & build the life you envisioned.
