About Mikel

I have worked in community mental health for many years, and have a passion for partnering with those working through mental health and addiction challenges.

It's no secret that life can get harsh. Job loss, anxiety, depression, loss of loved ones, life transitions, losing our direction, all of these and so many more challenges make it hard to draw on the skills life has taught us. At some point we all have felt lost, unsure of where to step next, or just needed that extra support. Whatever your needs may be, I am confident the change you desire is possible! I want to partner with you. Working as a team, I believe we can overcome barriers, and meet the goals you have set! ​
