I work with individuals. I understand how tough life can get. Before I became a therapist, I went through my own challenges — unhoused, unemployed, and struggling with substance use. Getting sober and working my way through college wasn’t easy, but it shaped the way I show up for others now: with understanding, patience, and zero judgment.

You may be carrying the effects of trauma, chronic stress, or narcissistic abuse while trying to hold everything together. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and healing is possible.
