How I support you in your recovery

I encourage community until it starts and sticks – we cannot do recovery without vulnerability and others! 

How I support you in building a relationship with self

I support you in shifting your focus from the external world where we have little control to the internal world to learn how to regulate and manage our reactions to life events. I bring in the neuroscience and understanding of what’s happening with our brains so we can “hack” it and support you in making recovery more attainable. 

My personal recovery journey

Substance use in my family system that allowed me to find and enter recovery before those using was a very empowering experience. I experienced the power of engaging in my own work, including EMDR, energy work and experiential therapy for healing past traumas and addressing anxiety/panic attacks.
