About Me
I understand, life happens and that's okay, I want you to know you are not alone in your circumstances. I am here to help you heal, grow and thrive. "Owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky, but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy- the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."I understand, life happens and that's okay, I want you to know you are not alone in your circumstances.

Sometimes the chaos and confusion that life can present may cause us to lose our way. I have extensive experience with Drug and Alcohol Treatment, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression. Again, I am here for you and there is hope. If you struggle with wholehearted loving and living, I can help you by identifying and dealing with struggles, problems, and issues that keep you from being your very best.
