The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

I have had deep, personal experiences with substance-use and addictions. I used substances to avoid feelings of grief, loneliness, guilt, shame, and anxiety. My struggle placed stress on myself and my immediate family, as well as friends and members of my community, and strained my ability to cope with life. You may be suffering from the same emotions.

I began my recovery journey in 2016, but it was not easy. I have attended outpatient-treatment programs, entered detox facilities and in-patient treatment programs at different points in this journey. Today, I am deeply thankful to walk out the other side of addiction.

I describe my journey not to scare you away — you may have been lucky enough to avoid institutional programs. I hope my experiences and subsequent training can support you in managing your addictive tendencies, whether these include drugs, alcohol, relationships, gambling, food, shopping or sex.

No matter what your recovery goals are — whether it be sober curiosity, harm reduction, or abstinence — I can help you create a recovery plan that works for you and your best life. My training involves professional skills, but my approach also includes a unique and compassionate state-of-mind and heart, which enables me to engage my clients in a helping relationship.

I look forward to hearing from you.
