My journey has been a rollercoaster…

From battling substance abuse to healing my personality disorder and eventually ending up as a counselor, this journey helped me realize how hard it is to find empathetic and knowledgeable help. I quickly realized that most therapists lacked the training and confidence to see clients with personality disorders and addictions. This left my family and me feeling isolated, hopeless, and fearful that I would never find help.

I needed someone that I could connect to during my healing journey. My family needed someone to guide them through the referral loop they were stuck in. This is why I started the journey of consulting and educating the families and professionals supporting those with addiction and personality disorders. I became the therapist that I wish I had.

I fought hard to learn all I could about personality disorders and addiction. During my journey, I have worked in transitional living, treatment centers, non-profits, and private practices. I am currently working on my PhD in psychology with a focus on addiction. I have been mentored by amazing leaders in the field and worked with the most amazing clients. This has given me a broad and powerful understanding of the intricacies of these disorders and how they affect families.

My mission is to help you feel empowered to support your client or family member struggling with these disorders. I am known for breaking down complicated and overwhelming information in a manageable and palpable way. I have seen almost everything during my tenure and jump into things when other professionals jump out.
