Additional Information
I have first hand experience in addiction treatment and recovery. I am extremely grateful have over 2 years clean and a strong foundation in recovery from addiction. I can help clients to identify triggers and assess potential for relapse. I am capable of helping clients cope with urges to use, overcoming obstacles in their recovery, and creating a relapse prevention plan. My personal belief is that addressing pain, trauma, and mental illness is paramount in sustaining sobriety and achieving a happy, successful, and fulfilling life.
