About

Not long ago, someone paused mid-sentence across from me and said, 'I've never said that out loud before.' That small moment is the whole reason I do this job. I started out in research, buried in data about why people change, until I admitted I wanted to sit with actual people instead. Sobriety, for the clients I see, rarely arrives as one big decision; it gets built from a hundred small ones, and we treat every single one as real progress. I practice motivational interviewing, which means I'm far more interested in what you want for your life than in what anyone else thinks you should do. I see how often women get praised for the exact coping that is quietly costing them. Clients tell me sessions feel like talking to a friend who happens to ask better questions. If you're curious whether we'd click, reaching out costs you nothing.
