How I support you in your recovery
I support you in your recovery by showing up in session as my true and authentic self. My hope is to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to show up just as you are to receive support and accountability from our relationship together. I support you in getting to the root cause of your pain and finding relief from dysfunction.
How I support you in building a relationship with self
I believe that once we connect with our inner child, we also form and strengthen our relationship with our present day self. I support you in identifying the unmet needs of your inner child and in re-discovering the parts of your inner child that were maybe goofy, carefree, or creative. We then work together through reparenting and nurturing your inner child so that healing occurs and you can show up in your relationship with self and others the way you desire to.
My Personal Recovery Journey
My personal recovery is a part of all aspects of my life to include my relationship with self, my roles as wife, mom, daughter, therapist, and friend, and has been my guiding light through it all. My recovery isn’t always “just right” or isn’t always the easiest to access, and that’s when I know I am in need of more connection and accountability from my safe people. Recovery is hard, recovery is SO worth it, and recovery is always evolving for me.

— What Element Do You Resonate With? —
Water
“I most identify with water. The ocean is my favorite place to be and serves as a gentle reminder that I am continuously in my own recovery. Like the tides of the ocean, I have highs and lows during recovery, and that’s okay.”
