About My Clients
I work with individuals seeking support for substance use and recovery, including those navigating relapse prevention and rebuilding stability. I also support justice-involved individuals and those facing high-risk situations, including court involvement. I specialize in working with women and mothers in recovery, offering compassionate, real-world support that integrates both clinical expertise and lived experience.
My Background and Approach
I am a PhD-level clinician and licensed substance use counselor (LCDP, LADC-1) with extensive experience working across levels of care, including outpatient, IOP, and PHP settings. My work has focused on supporting individuals with complex substance use histories, relapse patterns, and involvement with the legal system. I have specialized experience working with women and mothers in recovery, understanding the unique challenges of balancing sobriety with parenting and daily responsibilities. My approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in both clinical training and lived experience in recovery. I focus on helping clients build sustainable recovery skills, prevent relapse, and create meaningful, stable lives. Clients can expect real, nonjudgmental support and strategies that work in everyday life—not just in theory.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe those who have lived through addiction and the hard work of recovery are uniquely equipped to help others do the same. My approach to therapy is walking beside you on your journey—helping you navigate barriers while also recognizing and building on your strengths. I am passionate about second chances and have been involved in justice reform efforts because I believe people deserve the opportunity to rebuild their lives. I also bring lived experience within the justice system and as a mother in recovery, understanding firsthand how challenging it can be to balance recovery, parenting, and daily responsibilities. My work is grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect, creating a space where clients feel understood and supported as they move toward lasting change.
