“Addiction isn’t a character flaw. It’s a human experience that can reach across families, professions, and communities.”

 

Understanding Addiction

A space built around your experience, your resilience, and your next step.

 

What Addiction Really Is

Addiction isn’t about weakness or failure. It’s often a response to pain—emotional, physical, generational, or historical. For many, substances become a way to cope, to feel something (or nothing), or to survive what feels unbearable.

Over time, that coping can turn into a cycle that’s hard to break. But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

How Trauma Plays a Role

If you’ve lived through trauma—whether it’s loss, violence, neglect, or systemic harm—your nervous system may be doing its best to protect you. Sometimes, that protection looks like substance use. It’s not about being reckless. It’s about trying to feel safe.

That’s why trauma-informed support matters. It doesn’t ask, “What’s wrong with you?” It asks, “What happened to you?” And it holds space for healing without judgment.

 

What Recovery Can Look Like

Recovery isn’t a straight line. It’s messy, beautiful, and deeply personal. It might look like:

  • Showing up to a session even when you’re unsure

  • Feeling your feelings instead of numbing them

  • Rebuilding trust—with yourself, your body, your community

  • Making one small choice that leads to another

There’s no one right way. There’s just your way. And it’s okay to take your time.

 

 How I Can Support You

I offer respectful, confidential support for anyone navigating substance use, recovery, or life transitions.

My approach is:

  • Non-clinical and trauma-informed

  • Rooted in your strengths, responsive to your challenges.

  • Rooted in dignity, autonomy, and real-world understanding

Whether you’re taking your first steps or continuing the work you’ve already begun, I’m here to support what unfolds next.

 

You’re Welcome Here

Whether you’re:

  • Parenting through recovery

  • Navigating housing loss

  • Rebuilding after incarceration

  • Balancing work and healing

  • Or simply feeling stuck

You don’t need perfect words. You don’t need a plan. You just need a place to land—and you’re here.

"Even on the hardest days, connection is possible. I’m here when you’re ready."

Welcome. This portal supports new and ongoing care with privacy and ease.

🌱 A Safe Place to Begin You don’t have to have it all figured out. Recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, being real, and finding new ways to care for yourself. In our sessions, you’ll have a space that’s private, respectful, and built around your needs. We’ll talk about what’s brought you here, what’s feeling heavy, and what healing might look like for you.
