About

The people who find me are usually holding it together on the outside while something quietly unravels underneath. Maybe it's the wine that became a nightly requirement, or the promise to stop that keeps getting rescheduled. I cut my teeth in crisis services, where I learned that steadiness matters more than any clever technique. Addiction is not a moral failing; I treat it as the understandable thing it is, a solution that stopped working. Ambivalence is not a barrier to this work, it is the work, and we make room for the part of you that wants change and the part that isn't sure. I've heard from many women that it matters to say certain things to another woman first. My style is unfiltered: I say the true thing plainly and skip the therapist voice. If any of this lands, reach out; no pressure, no commitment, just a conversation.
