I'm a licensed clinical social worker and certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor with extensive training and experience with helping people become the best versions of themselves. Often suffering happens in silence. That is why I believe the way to get control of your life back is by sharing openly and honestly about your experience without judgment. Throughout our work together we will explore your experience and identify different ways for you to cope that align more with who you want to be. I believe that regardless of where someone comes from or what they have been through that they can still live the life that they see for themselves. We cannot control what happens in life, but we can control how we respond, including seeking out assistance when needed. In society we are often told seeking out assistance or getting help is a weakness, but I truly believe it is the strongest, and most courageous action someone can do. Throughout my own lived experience I have found that often the actions that seem the most difficult are the actions we need to do. Throughout our work I will support and challenge you to become the best you can be. I can't promise that puns and dad jokes won't be used as well! If I sound like the right therapist for you, then reach out to me for a free 15-minute consultation.
