"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." -Carl Jung
Every person moves through life with a unique mind, body, and soul. Together, we will explore your history, strengths, challenges, relationships, values, and goals to determine the best course of action. Whether you intend to walk a path of complete sobriety or one of moderation, I will listen and seek to understand what matters most to you. I see addiction as an invitation to re-consider your life's journey, to know yourself on a deeper level, and to align with "who you truly are."
To say addiction is ‘complex’ is an understatement. There is no effective one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I align with SAMHSA’s definition of recovery as "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and well-being, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential."
"The opposite of addiction is not sobriety; it's connection." -Johann Hari
Interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory guide how I relate with clients. As a harm reductionist, I work from a compassionate, humanistic, non-judgmental approach. As a lifelong learner, I stay informed of the latest research to ensure you receive genuine care and quality support. I view counseling as a sacred practice that involves reconnecting with your true Self. You are the healer. I simply offer another set of eyes and ears to help you find and follow your inner compass.
