Are you struggling with drug or alcohol addiction? The bad news is that recovery takes real effort. The good news? It’s absolutely possible—and the cycle of relapse can be broken. I offer a personalized program called Rocket Recovery, where we create a plan that fits your life and your goals. It can include up to two full sessions per week, up to five 20-minute check-ins between sessions, and weekly groups. Or we can start with just one weekly session—whatever you need to move forward. Ready to launch? Let’s build a strong foundation for your lasting recovery. I bring over 30 years of experience in the helping professions, with extensive work in diverse settings including detox programs and methadone clinics. I’m the author of a workbook on Mindfulness-Based Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (MBR-EBT), which teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thoughts in the moment and respond to challenges more effective My approach is eclectic, client-centered, empathic, and goal-directed. If you're struggling with addiction I can help you chart a path to sobriety and wellness, and to begin to address the underlying reasons behind addictive behavior. I currently offer virtual appointments statewide in New Mexico. Specialties: For substance use disorders, I would normally work with you for 3 to 12 months (or longer if need be) utilizing CBT/REBT, Mindfulness and other approaches to tailor your treatment to your needs. I also offer 20-minute checkins in-between appointments for folks who are really struggling. Most clients find that when they learn and apply recovery skills, they get results! That is my hope for you! Credentials & Experience: I am an addictions counselor and have had my own history with substance misuse, so I have a built-in sense of empathy for folks dealing with addictions.
