In my opinion, there is nothing more powerful than authentic human connection. The connection built between therapist and client has the ability to foster immense change and growth. As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist I feel truly honored to be trusted with this responsibility and want nothing more than to create a safe space for my clients to share their stories.
For the past 5 years, I have worked in the field of addiction. I have facilitated sessions with adults, adolescents, groups, couples, and families. I am well versed in drug prevention/psychoeducation and have traveled to schools across the country speaking to students about the dangers of drugs, self-esteem, body image issues, and sexuality.
I feel passionate about my work with addiction, but have also learned that it is merely a symptom of some underlying issue. Trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression can all lead to some form of self medication. It then becomes the goal of therapy to work together to engage new, healthier coping skills.
