My Approach to Therapy

I support people in building a strong foundation in recovery through practical skills, motivation, and lasting, real-life change. I specialize in addiction counseling and relapse prevention, supporting clients as they rebuild routines, confidence, and healthier coping. You can expect a down-to-earth, supportive approach that includes clear steps and honest feedback. Wherever you are in your recovery journey, you deserve support that feels genuine and pressure-free. If you’re looking for someone who understands the challenges, setbacks, and daily victories of the process, I’m here to walk alongside you. With 12 years of my own recovery, I know that healing is possible, and we do recover! When you’re ready, reach out and take that next step toward feeling more grounded and in control.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

My personal recovery experience has shaped the way I show up for clients. I have over 12 years of sobriety and understand the realities of rebuilding life after addiction, including navigating child welfare systems and using medication-assisted treatment as part of recovery. These experiences give me a grounded, compassionate understanding of how complex recovery can be. I also bring insight from my own work healing from adoption-related trauma and abandonment. This has strengthened my ability to help clients explore identity, purpose, and meaning - which I believe are essential for lasting recovery. My approach focuses on meeting people where they are and supporting sustainable change, not perfection.

Groups I Work With

I have a strong background in substance-use counseling, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and client-centered treatment. I’ve worked extensively with New Jersey’s DCPP and legal systems for the past 9 years, which helps me understand the unique pressures clients face when navigating complicated life circumstances. As well as those with a history of domestic violence, criminal justice offenders, and those who are just going through a tough time in life, where substances were or are the main coping skill. I am a huge supporter of Medication Assisted Treatment and using what works to help you gain and maintain sobriety, including 12 Step or other self-help groups.
