My journey to mental healthcare
I began working in the field of addiction in my 20s. I found many addicts also suffered from trauma which motivated me to study the best approaches to trauma. I received training in EMDR therapy as it provides the best outcomes for trauma. I also worked in the corrections setting with addicts. I am passionate about working with former felons who often have history of addiction and trauma. 2017 I opened a private practice helping teens and adults heal from Depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-harm, PTSD, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. I believe in helping others to obtain a life of thriving rather than just surviving

Goals are focus on a collaborative approach.
My first session with you
