I will help you overcome your addiction by:

    •    Healing shame, guilt, and unresolved trauma

I bring a unique, integrative perspective to addiction recovery. I understand the biological, psychological, and emotional complexities of substance use disorders—including addiction to drugs, alcohol, and prescription medications. My specialized training allows me to assess the full picture and provide personalized treatment that addresses both the mind and the body.

Addiction can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply frustrating. But with the right support, change is not only possible—it’s sustainable. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore the underlying causes of your addiction, whether it’s rooted in trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or unresolved grief. Together, we’ll work to heal those wounds and build healthier coping mechanisms.

My approach blends evidence-based therapies with compassionate care. Whether you’re stepping into recovery for the first time or returning after a relapse, I meet you where you are—with respect, empathy, and a commitment to your growth. We’ll develop a customized treatment plan that may include relapse prevention strategies, emotional regulation skills, boundary-setting, and reconnection to meaning and purpose.

Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. It’s about reclaiming your identity, restoring your relationships, and creating a life you feel proud to live.

You don’t have to face this alone. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and begin your journey toward lasting freedom and healing.
