About My Clients
It can be scary when you first realize that your alcohol or drug use has gotten out of control, or that a loved one's use is beginning to affect you in ways it hadn't before. Taking that first step to reach out for help takes vulnerability and courage. I promise to return every call and email I receive in a timely manner. I look forward to welcoming you into a collaborative and safe place where growth is possible!
My Background and Approach
I work from a place of authenticity, and I feel that the relationship between the therapist and the client is of the utmost importance in order to promote long lasting change. I enjoy a holistic approach to recovery, and often incorporate mindfulness interventions that focus on the person as a spiritual, emotional, and physical being. I am licensed as both a professional counselor and an addictions counselor and have experience working in both a private practice setting, as well as inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities. My specialties include working with people struggling with substance abuse, loved ones of those struggling with substance abuse, and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Recovery includes healing, mending, and recuperating from any and all of life’s twists and turns. I work with individuals to strengthen and discover their resilience - their ability to recover from life’s difficulties. I want my client’s to recognize that they are not alone, that through their courage to seek counseling, they have also found a trusted ally to navigate difficulties in their lives. I believe in challenging and compassionate work with my clients. While working with substance abuse and mental health disorders, I feel it is important to be honest, up front, and caring in regards to dangerous or unhealthy behavior patterns.
