Recovery is Possible!

The thought of life without the use of substances or unhealthy/maladaptive behaviors can seem . . . . 

  • Impossible
  • Overwhelming
  • Boring
  • Scary
  • Hard

 
However, if life is no longer going in the direction you want and, instead, you want to experience . . . . 

  • Healing
  • Freedom
  • Peace
  • Self-Acceptance
  • Self-Love
  • Stability

. . . . then you are ready to step into Recovery.

You can change

People can change. As hard as it may be to imagine, you can learn to do things differently. You can heal.

Sometimes accepting help is the first step.

About Me

My recovery journey began over 30 years ago when I realized I had a problem with substances. Through the fellowship of 12 step programs, counseling, and lots of perseverance, I have been able to remain abstinent.

In addition, I have been blessed with the ability to give back what I have learned through the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies as well as through personal experience.

I have a freedom I never thought possible from not only what goes on in my head, but also what goes on around me.

And I want to share that freedom with others. I’m fully licensed to provide counseling and psychotherapy in the State of Colorado, and I’m experienced in trauma recovery, substance use recovery, and relapse prevention.

Recovery is a journey, not a destination. You, too, can have the freedom you seek to live your best life. I would love to have the opportunity to talk with you about how you can find your own road to recovery and stay on it, leading you to a more meaningful experience with life and most importantly, with yourself!
