Welcome—I'm Proud of You for Being Here


If you’re here, it means you’re thinking about making a change—and that’s something to be incredibly proud of. Reaching out for help with alcohol or substance use is no small step. It takes courage, honesty, and strength—and you’ve already started the journey just by showing up.

This is a space where you’ll be met with compassion, not judgment. You’re free to explore your relationship with substances at your own pace, whether your goal is harm reduction, cutting back, or working toward sobriety.

As your therapist, I’m not here to tell you what to do—I’m here to walk alongside you, offering tools, insight, and support. The hard work? That’s yours. And I know you can do it.

Substance Use & Recovery Support


Compassionate care rooted in experience.

Struggling with alcohol, substance use, or gamblng addiction can feel isolating, overwhelming, and filled with shame—but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

With over 14 years of experience and credentials in the field of addiction, I bring both clinical expertise and deep empathy to this work. I can help you understand your relationship with substances, explore the "why" behind your patterns, and take meaningful steps toward healing and change.

Whether you’re questioning your use, trying to cut back, in early recovery, or working to maintain long-term sobriety, or clean time, therapy can offer the support and insight you need. My approach is nonjudgmental, person-centered, and focused on you—your goals, your pace, your version of recovery.

Together, we can work on:

  • Identifying triggers and unhealthy patterns

  • Understanding the emotional roots of substance use

  • Building coping skills and relapse prevention tools

  • Navigating life without relying on substances

  • Healing underlying trauma, stress, or relationship issues

    You don’t need to hit “rock bottom” to get help. Change is possible—and it starts with one conversation. I'm here when you are ready.

Breaking the Stigma Around Addicton

Fight the stigma. Embrace the person. Support the recovery.

Let’s be clear: Struggling with alcohol, drug use, or gambling addiction doesn’t make you weak, broken, or bad—it makes you human. Instead of compassion, you may have been met with judgment. Instead of support, you may have been told by friends or family to “just stop.” But recovery isn’t a straight line, and healing isn’t built on shame.

As someone who has worked in the field of addiction for over a decade, I’ve seen the damage that stigma does—and it can be very hurtful and discouraging. When you are already suffering, you don’t need punishment-you need support, understanding, and a safe space to heal. You should never kick someone while they’re already on the floor.

We’ll look at the deeper story behind your substance use—because there always is one. Trauma, pain, disconnection, grief, perfectionism—whatever brought you here, you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.

You are not your addiction. You are not your past. And you are absolutely worthy of healing.
