Addiction & Recovery Counseling Vermont
Telehealth therapy for substance use and recovery, available throughout Vermont
When you’re struggling with substance use, change doesn't usually happen in a straight line.
There's often a longer story full of doubt, attempts, setbacks, and the weight of carrying something that's been hard to talk about.
Wherever you are in that story, you can reach out. Change doesn't have to begin with shame.
A harm reduction approach to addiction recovery
My approach is harm reduction-informed. That means we start from where you are and what you're actually dealing with. Whether you're trying to cut back, stop altogether, make sense of a pattern you can't seem to break, or maintain something hard-won, there's room for all of it here.
I draw on CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches depending on what fits your situation. I'm not easily surprised, and I've seen enough to know that the path looks different for everyone. What matters is that you're willing to look at it honestly.
I'm licensed as both a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and an Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). Most of the people I work with have more than one thing going on at once, and my training reflects that.

What I bring to this work
I have my own experience with recovery. It shapes how I understand the process: not the textbook version, but what it actually looks like from the inside. The non-linear parts. The setbacks that don't mean failure. The moments where things start to shift in ways you didn't expect.
I share my story on the About page if you’d like to know more.
DUI counseling and IDRP support
If you are completing Vermont's Impaired Driver Rehabilitation Program (IDRP) following a DUI charge, I provide the counseling sessions required as part of the program and can complete the Treatment Information Form on your behalf.
Reach out directly to discuss scheduling and next steps.
Ready When You Are
You don't have to have tried everything else first, or hit some kind of rock bottom. You just have to be willing to give it a real shot. I'm here when you're ready.
