With 5+ years experience in hands-on substance abuse counseling, I know both how hard it is to get sober and the overwhelming joy that comes with overcoming the addictions ruining someone's life.

For many people struggling with addiction, the toughest step toward recovery is the very first one: Recognizing that you have a problem and deciding to make a change. It’s normal to feel uncertain about whether you’re ready to start recovery or if you have what it takes. Many people feel hopeless after several relapses and/or poor treatment experiences.

I work with my clients from a holistic approach seeking to understand what led them to unhealthy behaviors and drug/alcohol addiction. We will seek freedom together as we work to identify the root problem underneath the addiction and begin to implement recovery resources and healthy coping skills.
