Description
I have a background in assisting individuals facing challenges like homelessness, addiction, financial stress, food insecurity, and navigating complex social systems. My work has involved helping youth in detention centers, supporting dually diagnosed adults in day programs, and working with couples dealing with relationship issues. My expertise extends to mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, as well as addressing addiction, anger management, and men's issues.

Summary
Our core belief is that every individual is unique, and we celebrate the beauty of neurodiversity. We embrace the differences that make each person special, and we strive to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels understood and valued. We recognize that interventions and therapy take diverse forms. We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable for your unique neuro system. Thus, we embrace various methodologies, such as CBT, DBT, art therapy, and more, adapting our approach to what best suits your individual needs.
