"Healing is not a single event that just happens, it is a journey with various levels of new insights and growth."

I believe that there is no place in your life that is too dark that cannot be healed. Healing is not a single event that just happens, it is a journey with various levels of new insights and growth. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth.

 I have an audacious and thought provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with client sin a manner that is comfortable and authentic, Through treatment, I provide clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients.
