About
My ideal client feels stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—using substances to numb pain, quiet anxiety, or cope with loss. Beneath the struggle is someone capable of healing and growth, even if they can’t see it yet. Whether facing relapse, trauma, or life transitions, they’re ready to break free from survival mode. I help clients uncover the roots of their substance use, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical tools for lasting recovery and self-worth. I integrate trauma-informed CBT, DBT, and motivational enhancement with a social work lens that honors the whole person—their environment, relationships, and strengths. Sessions are collaborative and supportive, designed to help clients build insight, resilience, and confidence in managing life without substances.
