About Me

Who I Am

I’m Rose with Life Changes Counseling. I am a Certified Social Worker (CSW) and Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor (LSUDC) with ten years of experience in the mental health and addiction field—and a few decades of lived experience, learning that being human is messy, brutal, beautiful, and sometimes absurd.

How I Work

I approach therapy the way I approach life: with humility, curiosity, a willingness to unlearn, and deep respect for what it means to survive and grow.
Therapy won’t always feel cozy. If it’s working, it will disrupt the comfort zones and patterns that once kept you safe but now hold you back. If you allow me, I will challenge you with kindness, clarity, and respect. And if you’re not ready yet, that’s okay too. I’ll still be beside you.

My Philosophy

Therapy is about learning and unlearning, about creating safety within ourselves that we can carry into the world. Insight without action is just another story—and when you're ready, we’ll write something new.

All sessions are scheduled through Life Changes Counseling.
