Great to meet you!

You've done the work to get sober. But some things are still coming up. I help people in recovery who got sober but still feel something unresolved finally process what's underneath so recovery feels complete. You've worked the steps, rebuilt your life, and yet there's something underneath that hasn't shifted. Maybe it's stuff from before the drinking started, or things that happened during. I use EMDR to help process what's stuck in the nervous system so recovery can feel complete. We'll work with your program yet reach what talk therapy and stepwork can't fully resolve. I've got 22 years sober and in recovery myself, so I get it.

My approach to therapy

I use EMDR and ACT to help people in recovery process unresolved issues and build real tools for what still shows up. I'm an LCSW with 15+ years of experience. I've been sober and in recovery myself for 22 years. I know this territory from the inside, and I bring that to the work. I'm inclusive, affirming, and honor what matters most to you. Online in Florida and Maine.

What you can expect from me

We'll start with a 15-minute free phone consult to see if this feels like the right fit. From there we'll set goals, build safety, and make sure you have tools before we go anywhere hard. At your pace, we'll do the deeper work together. If any of this resonates, I encourage you to reach out. You've already come this far.
