I have lived experience with getting sober and staying sober. While I am not able to offer services as a substance use disorder professional, I have been able to work with and treat many clients who suffer from addiction. In sessions we will collaborate to identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that drive the disorder in your life.

We will also look at the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have a negative effect on the relationships you wish to continue to forge and flourish. I know the struggle of sobriety from both a client and clinician perspective and know that your story doesn’t have to include continued distress from these issues. Healing and community can come from the desires you have to get better.

All of us want to be the person that aligns with our values and goals. Sometimes we find ourselves at odds with the person we want to be. Having experience in working with faith based clients has allowed me to work with them to find the path that best aligns with their faith system. I have lived experience as a Christian client and counselor and would love to help you discover where you may want to integrate your faith into your life.

We all have stories that we love. Why do we love them? It’s because some part of us longs to be the hero we see on the page, screen or stage. How can we expect to improve ourselves if there is nothing to look toward? The hero’s story may seem larger than life but there are ways in which you can take that story and integrate the patterns of the good and warnings of the bad into your own life. I can help you author that story and become the hero of your life you wish to be.

I am versed in pop-culture and clinical therapy and can help you find the balance between being the genuine person you are and aspiring to be the hero of your story. I have seen clients from 12 to 75 identify the story they wish to tell and begin to live the hero’s journey in their own life.
