Now, as a pre-licensed clinician, I get the opportunity to sit with you and be wildly curious about who you are and who you want to become while acknowledging and processing the pain, challenges, and celebrations along the way. I am passionate about th...

As a person in long term recovery from various substance and process addictions, I have been helped along the way by some very special humans who have lit the way for me to peer into the areas of my path that I was either denying or just couldn't see from an objective perspective. After a career as a marketing professional, I was able to make the transition into doing this work that has helped ...

People usually contact me because they are suffering from some kind of loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, or crises of meaning. Something is holding them back.
