Great to meet you!

Deeply experienced regarding addiction and its co-occurring disorders, as well as family and relationship dynamics.

My approach to therapy

My ideal client is anyone on the continuing journey of Substance Abuse Disorder recovery. Broadly, I work people on three distinct levels of recovery:

Level 1 (Years 1 -2) Reaping the many benefits of 12 Step support without allowing the inevitable conflict with certain people and principles to drive you away from this invaluable support system. Develop recovery-based values, thinking, feelings, and behaviors to replace the ones formed in addiction.

Level 2 (Years 2 - 5) Growing into a balanced lifestyle. During this stage, recovering people learn to repair past damage done to their lives.

Level 3 (Years 6 -10) Resolving stress, relationship, and personality issues related to unresolved childhood issues.

What you can expect from me

My approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I draw from evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), , and solution-focused strategies to help you develop insight and create real, sustainable change. Therapy with me is about helping you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned in your everyday life.
