With over 20 years of substance abuse counseling experience spanning in various settings, I have developed a well-rounded and compassionate approach to substance abuse treatment. My background includes working with both adolescent and adult populations. I also utilize abstinence based approach and harm reduction principles to meet clients where they are in their recovery process. My goal is to foster trust and understanding with each client to support sustainable change.
My therapeutic approach emphasizes building a supportive, judgment-free environment where clients feel empowered to create positive change. I draw upon modalities such as CBT, MI, and REBT while integrating relapse prevention, recovery coaching, and peer support resources as needed into the treatment process. Overall, I adjust the therapeutic techniques to best facilitate the self-reflection, skill-building, and personal growth necessary for each client's continued progress in recovery.
Clients can expect to gain critical insight into the factors driving their substance use to make impactful life changes. Clients will walk away with personalized relapse prevention plans to continue their recovery journey. Most importantly, I aim to provide a supportive environment for clients to feel empowered to take control of their recovery and future. My goal is for each individual to have the resources and resilience to maintain long-term wellness.
