With 5+ years of experience working with substance abusing populations, I am passionate about holistic addiction treatments that empower clients to achieve a life in recovery that combines abstinence with multi-dimensional wellness.

I will graduate in May, 2023 with an MSW and be eligible for an LCSW-A, and LCAS-A.
