Focus Populations

I deeply enjoy working with individuals suffering from anxiety, life transitions, depression, or PTSD.

 

I am passionate about working with and making a difference for high school and college-age students. These age groups carry a special place in my heart. During my high school years, finding a therapist that I believed could "actually" help me was such a challenge. Therapist's I would meet seemed so out of touch, with limited life experience, that was relatable to me, and feedback that was not helpful. I promised myself that when I became a therapist, I would actually be able to help kids "like me" because I would have personal life experience and perseverance in overcoming my challenge, along with education. 

I have an equal passion for working with individuals facing addiction challenges. Addiction is sneaky, corrosive, and ruins your life and the lives of others. Alcoholism, drug addiction, love addiction, or sex addiction. 

 Addiction = ball & chain without even realizing it's bound to you. Addiction, finding yourself doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results, " this time it will be different! I promise". Yet, it never is. Addiction, believing it's everyone else's fault or problem, not yours! "If they would just leave me alone, I would be FINE!" FINE = Fractured, Insecure, Neurotic, Exhausted. Addiction, finding yourself experiencing the same patterns or outcomes, regardless of how much time spent away.
