LCSW, CADC I
_edited.jpg)
I have done my own personal growth work and have gathered tools from psychology, sociology, spirituality, nature, and fitness.
Through this journey, my intention has always been to live my life as authentically as possible- not who I think I “should” be or some idealized version of what it means to be human, but my true self, imperfections and all.
