Compassionate Support for Healing and Recovery

Aligned Wellness and Recovery provides compassionate, tauma-informed support for anyone navigating major life transitions including narcissistic abuse, divorce, parental alienation, or recovery from Substance Use Disorder (SUD).  My holistic approach integrates mental, emotional, and physical wellness to help to restore balance, build resilience, and redefine your self-worth.

I spent the past 15 years healing every part of my life after a bad marriage and an even worse divorce that left me heartbroken, depressed, bankrupt, and drunk. I could not escape my life, no matter how much I tried or how much wine I drank.

In the midst of the ongoing harassment, defamation, shaming, bullying, financial abuse, and stalking that I endured, a close friend looked at me and said, "I can see you using this experience to help other people who are going through this one day".  Even though I felt like I was the ONLY one going through such a horrific and painful time, those words resonated deeply and I have envisioned myself finding a way to help others--who feel like they've lost everything--ever since.

Getting sober was the hardest part of my recovery and it is the one thing that I am most proud of and grateful for.  Throughout my journey of healing and recovery, I realized I am far from alone and there are many others who are where I was and can benefit from the lessons I've learned.  

I have a Master's degree in Counseling and 25+ years of counseling experience.  I am also a Certified Professional Life Coach, a Health & Wellness Coach, and a  Recovery Coach.  In addition, I have several Specialist Certifications such as Trauma & Crisis, Grief & Loss, Anxiety & Stress, DEI, and Mental Health.
