You deserve support while navigating the complexities and nuances of long-term recovery, as well as the intricacies of what may emerge along the way.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a social worker because social workers were there for me when I was scared and alone. Social workers kept believing in me, until I was able to believe in myself. I have spent a lot of time in dark and scary spaces, and sometimes I wonder how things in the past may have been different I would have had additional support during those moments. I became a drug and alcohol counselor because I know there is another way to live, and I know that sometimes changing the people, places, and things just isn't enough. I became a psilocybin facilitator because I believe in the healing potential of psilocybin to aid in the break down of cognitive defenses. Psilocybin can provide glimpses into parts of us that may otherwise remain hidden. I believe we are all parts of the communities we belong to and the systems we engage with, and when one part of a system shifts, the whole system is impacted. So why not start with you?
