Real Support for Addiction and Recovery
A Personal Perspective
Recovery is a personal journey for me. I have maintained my own recovery from substance use disorder for 35 years, which gives me a unique perspective on the challenges my clients face. I combine professional training with lived experience to offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can focus on getting healthy.
Practical, Solution-Focused Therapy
How We Work Together
As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you move past old behavior patterns and negative thoughts that may be holding you back. We will use an integrative approach to look at the root causes of your distress rather than just treating the symptoms, helping you build a life that feels more authentic and rewarding.
Comprehensive Support for Complex Needs
Coordinated Care
For complex conditions such as panic attacks, eating disorders, or mental health diagnoses requiring medication, I often work as part of a larger care team. By coordinating care with your doctors, nutritionists, and other specialists, we make sure your physical health and mental well-being are both prioritized.
