Early recovery is a period of immense vulnerability and uncertainty as you begin to deconstruct the walls raised in active addiction and replace them with the coping skills necessary for success in long-term recovery. I believe wholeheartedly in the value of the therapeutic alliance and offer an environment that promotes sustainable change; to me, recovery is about more than putting down the drugs, it’s about becoming your best self.

Taking the first step to attend therapy can be nerve wrecking and intimidating but can also demonstrate great insight and self-empowerment. My belief and intention in providing therapy is to collaboratively work with individuals to meet their unique needs and to develop a healthy and positive sense of self in order to accomplish personal goals. I also believe the therapeutic process is most effective when a strong therapeutic relationship is established; therefore, I provide an empathic, supportive, open, direct, and nonjudgmental environment with some humor mixed in when appropriate.

What would life be like if that didn’t happen? The years of tears, self-doubt and anger have ruled your life. Being in survival mode is exhausting. You know you can't go back and change the past, but you desperately want to. Sometimes it feels like you you are suffocating. There is no denying it anymore. You are suffering. You see people smile and want to know what it is like to be happy. Is it even possible to have a “normal” life (whatever that is)? No one really gets you. It feels like you’re all alone. It truly sucks.
