I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with a degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I specialized in Mental Health and Substance Use. I currently work in a community health setting, providing clinical services to individuals living with psychotic disorders, depression, and bipolar disorder. With over 15 years of experience in the field of substance use treatment, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my practice—offering a uniquely empathetic and person-centered approach to care. My passion lies in helping others build resilience, find healing, and achieve meaningful recovery.

My goal is to create a safe space where the superman cape, the mask, the facade that you've had to show the world can come down. That cape is really heavy.

I want to extend a special invitation to those in the helping professions: this is a safe place to discuss those crazy stories, and know you'll never feel judged or looked down on. As a former social worker, I can tell you I've seen my own share of the best and worst humanity has to offer. My dark sense of humor is a load-bearing structure.
