I am a substance abuse counselor who works with those who use substances (e.g. drugs and alcohol) as well as those who use other addictive behaviors (e.g. gambling, sex, internet, self-harm, etc.) to cope with their anxiety, depression, and past trauma. I have experience working with adults who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorders, and personality disorders along with substance use disorders and other addictive behaviors. I give strength to my clients by helping them to learn about their addiction, their emotions, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to use them to begin recovery and have long term sobriety. I offer both in person and virtual sessions to aid clients both in rural, suburban, and urban areas. I specialize in substance abuse and addictive behaviors in adults. I feel collaboration in the healing process along with an active, positive approach to help you develop an understanding of the thought process and understand how to achieve your sobriety. All of us look for belonging and appreciation, and for some, the use of substances or behaviors replaced and numbed when that wasn’t given or when it was taken away. Together we would create goals that meet you where you are and together, we would work toward sobriety through changes in not only your mind, but your body and your spirit.
