We develop strategies early in life to ensure our safety. As adults, we often find these strategies are no longer effective and often harmful. As a survivor of complex trauma and a family history of generational alcohol & substance abuse, I believe individuals can and do recover. My personal journey led me to pursue a career helping others to overcome the baggage of their past.
I specialize in the treatment of alcohol & substance abuse, complex trauma, anxiety, personality, and mood disorders. I utilize evidenced based practices including but not limited to CBT, DBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, harm reduction and stages of change models of treatment. My therapeutic orientation is solution focused Reality Therapy.
I assist individuals and families to overcome challenges and improve their quality of life. Meeting individuals where they are, I develop a strong therapeutic alliance built on mutual trust and respect. Engagement and collaboration are utilized in the creation of a personalized treatment plan that empowers individuals to realize their fullest potential.
