About

Maybe you are here because someone you love said something that stung, or because you caught your reflection in a shop window and did not recognize the story behind it. Either way, I am glad you are looking. I work with adults untangling substance use from the life they actually want. Motivational interviewing guides my questions, which means I am more interested in your answers than in my own opinions. I offer sessions in both English and American Sign Language (ASL). I will never rush you, and I will never pretend to know your life better than you do. I came to this work after years in a completely different field, which showed me how many ways a life can begin again. Clients say sessions feel like talking to a friend who remembers everything and judges nothing. There is no wrong way to start and no deadline for starting. Whenever you are ready, my inbox is open.
