Hello! I'm a trained listener, and I'm looking forward to connecting with you. I'm a social worker currently in practice as an outpatient drug and alcohol counselor, and I'm very interested in supporting people in recovery from various addictions (substance or otherwise) as well as people facing mood disorders like depression or anxiety. I have experience in higher ed as well, so I have particular compassion for college students. I'm addition to my professional work, I'm a caregiver for 3 family members with various disabilities, and I also enjoy reading, watching movies/TV, exercise (kinda sorta), and hanging out with close friends. I've experienced depression and anxiety myself throughout my adult life—that doesn't make me an expert, but maybe it makes me a fellow traveler. If I'm online, feel free to start a chat. If not, leave me a message, and we can arrange to connect!
