My ideal client is someone in early to mid recovery after substance-use treatment, or someone who has achieved abstinence but is struggling with the transition back into everyday life.
Issues: Difficulty setting boundaries with family, work, or partners, fear of relapse and self-doubt (“What if I can’t do this?”)
Needs: Stability and containment, structure that supports independence, not dependency.
Goals: To stay sober without living in constant fear and to build a life that doesn’t require escape.
Work through the pressure to "do recovery perfectly, also build a meaningful life without drugs or alcohol.
I support individuals in recovery from substance use, with a focus on the transition from structured treatment into everyday life. I offer calm, non-judgmental, and structured support to help manage emotional overwhelm, reduce relapse risk, and build sustainable routines for long-term recovery.
Recovery can feel uncertain, especially when structure falls away and emotions surface. You don’t have to navigate this phase alone. If you’re looking for steady, respectful support as you build a life beyond addiction, reaching out can be a meaningful first step. I work under supervision of a registered Social Worker.
