Are you struggling with addiction, substance use, or other coping patterns that no longer serve you?
Perhaps you've found yourself relying on alcohol, substances, food work, or other behaviors to get through the day or to quiet difficult emotions. These patterns and behaviors rarely develop without reason. They often begin as attempts to manage overwhelming emotions trauma, stress, or pain. While these strategies may have once offered relief, they can eventually leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the life you want to live.
Healing is possible. Together, we'll work to understand, not judge, the patterns that have kept you stuck, while creating new ways of finding safety and connection.
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. I support individuals in exploring their relationship with substances through both a twelve-step-informed lens and a harm reduction approach—meeting you exactly where you are. Whether your goal is abstinence, moderation, or deeper understanding, I'll help you focus on compassion, accountability, and meaningful change. I approach addiction recovery through both a twelve-step-informed perspective and a harm reduction model, allowing for flexibility, honesty, and individualized care.
Through EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic psychotherapy, we address the underlying patterns, pain, and protective strategies that drive addictive behaviors.

Deeper Healing Work
Substance use is often connected to deeper emotional and nervous system patterns. Using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, I work to address what’s underneath—not just the behavior itself.
I offer therapy in person in Boulder, Colorado and telehealth sessions throughout Colorado, incorporating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic psychotherapy to support deeper, sustainable recovery.
