I have been working in the recovery field as a therapist since 2019. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in forensic psychology. I am able to work with dual diagnosis but I specialize in addictive disorders. I have education in the 12 step programs and I work under the idea of emotional sobriety.

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
