Hey There

Connection is key to healing

Substance misuse and addiction can alienate us from ourselves, our loved ones, and our
communities. With hard work and professional assistance, you can rediscover your intrinsic
worth and forge healthy interpersonal connections. As you move through that journey, I would like to offer a safe, judgement-free space and unconditional support. We will work together to promote your overall wellbeing and find local resources to help you accomplish your goals! I have been working in public health for four years and aim to become a Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor. I have experience serving our diverse American Indian and Alaska Native communities, the LGBTQ+ community of which I am a proud member, and speak both French and Russian.

 

Whether you are someone experiencing substance misuse, have a family member who is suffering form substance misuse or if you feel that your group would benefit from more information on SUD, I am here to help!

Don’t hesitate to reach out. The Summer Sessions team looks forward to working with you!
