Recovery can feel overwhelming, and I understand how challenging it can be. Whether just beginning recovery or working to maintain sobriety, my clients are often struggling with alcohol and/or drug use. What they want most is stability, healthier coping skills, stronger relationships, and lasting recovery. They may also be navigating challenges such as mental health diagnoses, grief and loss, and/or conflict in their relationships. Their goals often include achieving and/or maintaining sobriety, finding emotional balance, managing mental health symptoms, and creating a life that feels hopeful, connected, and fulfilling.
I specialize in supporting individuals on their recovery journey by tailoring therapy to meet their needs. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and MI, I help clients build insight, develop healthier coping skills, and manage challenges. My goal is to provide structure, support, and a safe space to navigate your journey towards lasting change.
Recovery is a journey and it’s normal to feel uncertain along the way. I provide support and guidance to help you build coping skills, manage challenges, and regain balance. I welcome you to connect with me and take the next step on your recovery journey; I’m here to walk alongside you and help you build lasting change.

My usual approach combines CBT, DBT, and MI. CBT teaches practical ways to manage thoughts and behaviors, DBT strengthens emotional and relationship skills, and MI helps boost motivation. I may also include other approaches and interventions to best support your recovery journey. These tools guide clients toward healthier coping and lasting recovery.
