I have five years experience with addiction treatment and co-occurring disorders in both an inpatient and outpatient setting and have guided hundreds of unique individuals in achieving their sobriety goals.
My primary focus in graduate school both clinically and in research was on addictive behaviors. I took a multidisciplinary approach in treating addiction, typically working on teams with medical providers/prescribers, social workers, and nurses. I take a harm reduction approach to treating addiction and can provide additional referrals to prescribers and/or support groups when needed/desired. In my experience, addiction tends to co-occur with other mental health diagnoses (most often, trauma) and I take this knowledge into my clinical practice to provide well rounded treatment for individuals with alcohol or substance misuse.
In Colorado, I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and regularly work with substance use disorder and what has occurred in your life to make this a viable option when it started. We won't leave you without coping skills. Rather, we replace them with new skills instead of substances.
I have 3 years of working directly with folks in recovery from substance use issues. I believe in a harm reductive, person centered approach and understand that substance use is a very unique and uniquely difficult disorder to work through.

No matter who you are or where you come from, overcoming an addiction or substance abuse can be overwhelming and feel never-ending. Recovery is possible! Sometimes a substance or activity may feel like a temporary shield to block trauma or unwanted feelings, but it can cause more harm. The first step to recovery is to make a commitment to your mental health and well-being. Once you make that first step to mental wellness, I can guide you through the next steps through mindfulness techniques. You do not have to do this alone.
