About My Clients
If you want help managing your addiction recovery, working through trauma, managing anxiety or perfectionism issues or are having difficulties with your relationships, I can walk you through it. I know sometimes it’s hard to shut off that voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. I know the stories we tell ourselves about who we are are (usually) a bunch of bullshit…but even bullshit stories have a powerful effect on you. I want to help you create a more accurate story
My Background and Approach
In long term recovery myself, I know firsthand what it’s like to deal with a substance use disorder and the challenges of transforming one’s life. In addition to my life experiences, I use my education, training and many years working in the field of addictions treatment to help men and women transform their lives through empathetic connection, direct dialogue, and professional therapeutic skills. I work from a strengths-based approach. What that means is that I firmly believe that you have within you innate knowledge of what your barriers to your therapeutic goals are, AND how to overcome them. My humanistic and client-centered approach will allow us to connect, and provide a safe space for you to explore areas of change that can help you reach your goals. My job as your therapist is to help you identify your unique strengths and characteristics, and ways they can be built upon to create your new path.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I know about transformation. After losing my mother to addiction in 2005, I got sober. Her death woke me up to the reality that my life was headed nowhere. I feared that my life might end up like hers. I knew that I wanted to change that story. I knew I had to learn to love myself—flaws and all—so that I could show up in my relationships and live my life on purpose. Literally everything changed when I started connecting to people who understood me and could support me through recovery. My life transformed through connection and recovery—and I want to help you do the same.
