Why Paraclete Renewal is Different
Paraclete Renewal is not treatment. It’s not just peer support. It’s recovery reimagined.
Whole-person, heart-centered, and uniquely designed for lasting transformation.
Most programs offer peer groups that provide connection but remain limited in scope. At Paraclete Renewal, support is different. Recovery here isn’t confined to a meeting room or reduced to a single pathway — it’s a flexible, living process that honors mind, body, and spirit together. With credentials as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor II (CADC II) and Certified Recovery Mentor II (CRM II), I bring both professional training and lived experience, blending structure with compassion in a way that makes healing feel both practical and deeply human.
What sets this apart is the integration of holistic practices and meaningful connection. Through one-on-one coaching, peer groups, family and loved one support, and even outdoor sessions that root you in nature, recovery becomes more than just abstaining — it becomes the work of repairing relationships, restoring balance, and uncovering the resilience that already lives within you. This is not about being “fixed,” but about being guided into the deeper healing that allows you to rise into your own wholeness.
And because recovery does not stop at 5 PM, neither do I. With in-person and telehealth options, and availability on evenings and weekends, I offer support that meets you exactly where you are — when you need it most. Paraclete Renewal is recovery made accessible, compassionate, and transformative, inviting you to step into a process that goes beyond survival and opens the door to renewal.
The Renewal Journey
At the heart of Paraclete Renewal is one simple truth: recovery is not just about avoiding substances — it’s about rediscovering wholeness, purpose, and connection. The Renewal Journey is my signature offering, designed to walk beside you as you rise in recovery and step into the fullness of who you are becoming.
Through one-on-one recovery coaching, holistic practices like mindfulness, intention-setting, and grounding tools, and personalized support that fits your real life, we’ll create a path that honors your unique story. This isn’t a program you have to fit into — it’s a journey we co-create together, blending structure with heart, resilience with creativity, and accountability with compassion.
Evenings and weekends are available, because recovery doesn’t only happen during office hours. Here, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to grow at your own pace, while building a life that feels steady, meaningful, and renewed.
The Renewal Journey is more than support — it’s a partnership in recovery, rooted in connection, grounded in experience, and alive with possibility.
Restorative pathways
Slow an anxious mind
Relapse prevention doesn’t have to feel rigid or clinical — it can be a restorative and empowering process. Restorative Pathways is a personalized coaching experience where we explore triggers with compassion, practice coping skills that feel natural and sustainable, and build safety nets rooted in connection, mindfulness, and holistic support. Together, we’ll create practical strategies while also nurturing balance, resilience, and renewal — helping you move forward with strength and confidence.
When recovery feels overwhelming, slowing down is powerful. Slow an Anxious Mind brings together gentle practices to calm, ground, and refocus your energy. Through mindfulness and meditation, you’ll learn simple tools to quiet racing thoughts without clinical or religious framing. With energy and breathwork practices, we’ll regulate the nervous system and find steadiness. Journaling prompts open space for reflection and self-discovery, while rituals of renewal help mark milestones — 90 days, a year, or any moment worth honoring.
Unfolding expression
Learn to fly
Creativity has the power to unlock what words alone cannot. Unfolding Expression offers space to explore writing, art, and music as pathways to release, reflection, and renewal. These circles are not about perfection — they’re about letting your story, emotions, and imagination flow in supportive community.
Through guided prompts, playful exploration, and mindful practices, you’ll discover new ways to express yourself, process feelings, and grow stronger in your recovery journey. It’s a chance to create, connect, and transform — one brushstroke, word, or note at a time.
Recovery is more than holding steady — it’s about rising into the version of yourself you’re ready to become. Learn to Fly is not about rigid treatment plans or cookie-cutter goals. It’s about creating a living map that blends your dreams, strengths, and values into an intentional path forward.
Together, we’ll chart milestones that matter to you — from rebuilding daily rhythms to pursuing education, career, or personal growth — while weaving in holistic practices like mindfulness, journaling, and intention-setting to keep your vision alive. This isn’t just planning. It’s designing a flight path for your recovery, with space for balance, freedom, and renewal.
Because your journey isn’t about fitting into a program — it’s about building wings strong enough to carry you where you want to go.
Building Blocks
Step foward
Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is step work. Steps Forward is an inclusive approach to exploring personal growth through steps, reflections, and practices that support your unique recovery journey. Whether you draw from AA, NA, SMART, Dharma, Refuge, Celebrate Recovery, or your own path, this offering creates space to adapt step work to your values, your pace, and your goals. Together, we’ll use structured reflection, mindful practices, and open conversation to turn steps into tools for lasting change and renewal.
Rise & shine
Start your mornings with intention and connection. Rise & Shine is a week-long recovery support program designed to help you build daily structure, strengthen resilience, and greet each day with clarity and purpose. Through guided check-ins, grounding practices, and peer-based accountability, you’ll learn simple tools to set your tone for the day and carry recovery into everything you do.
Go with the flow
Recovery is easier when your mind and emotions feel steady. Go With the Flow is a guided series that blends mindfulness practices, meditation, and practical tools inspired by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — all offered in a non-clinical, down-to-earth way. Together, we’ll explore how to notice your thoughts, ride the waves of emotion, and create gentle shifts that bring more calm, balance, and clarity into your day.
Breaking barriers
Community Resource Coaching – navigating housing, employment, education, and healthcare. Challenge yourself to reach beyond limitations and discover new possibilities with our community resource connections. From housing and employment to education and wellness, these supports are designed to help you move forward with confidence. Every step is an opportunity to grow, connect, and renew — and all are welcome.
Nourish to flourish
Clearing away the fog
Food is more than fuel — it’s energy, balance, and healing. Nourish to Flourish is a holistic nutrition offering that explores how what we eat can support both body and spirit. Together, we’ll look at simple, whole-food approaches alongside chakra-balancing nutrition to restore energy flow, strengthen resilience, and encourage deeper healing from within.
This isn’t about dieting or restriction. It’s about honoring your body, supporting your energy centers, and discovering the foods that make you feel grounded, vibrant, and renewed.
When the mind feels heavy and the heart feels clouded, sound can bring clarity. Clearing Away the Fog is a restorative sound immersion using frequency and vibration to gently release tension, quiet racing thoughts, and invite balance back into your body and spirit.
Through the resonance of crystal bowls, chimes, and gentle tones, you’ll be guided into a state of calm where stress softens, clarity emerges, and energy flows more freely. This offering isn’t about performance or perfection — it’s about creating space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with your own sense of renewal.
Quiet your mind
Rooting down
When your thoughts race or your focus feels scattered, it can be hard to stay present in recovery. Quiet Your Mind is a reflective session that blends mindfulness practices, guided journaling, and intention-setting rituals to help you pause, center, and realign with what matters most.
Through gentle meditation, thoughtful writing prompts, and the creation of meaningful intentions, you’ll uncover clarity, release inner clutter, and strengthen your connection to self. This isn’t about perfection or performance — it’s about creating sacred space to listen within and reset your focus. You’ll leave with a calmer mind, a lighter heart, and practical tools to carry mindfulness into daily life..
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in recovery is to simply come back to the ground beneath us. Rooting Down is a somatic movement and grounding practice that weaves gentle yoga-inspired exercises with breath and awareness to help you feel more steady, present, and connected.
Through intentional movement, body-based awareness, and grounding techniques, you’ll learn to release stress, regulate emotions, and restore balance in a way that feels supportive and accessible. This offering is about listening to your body, finding your center, and planting roots of strength so you can rise with greater clarity and calm. Come as you are — move, breathe, and root into renewal.
Heart of Renewal
At the core of Paraclete Renewal is Heart of Renewal — a restorative holistic session that weaves together Reiki-inspired energy work, chakra alignment, guided breathwork, and sound healing frequencies. This unique integration clears heaviness, restores balance, and awakens a deeper sense of calm and connection.
More than relaxation, this is a chance to reset your energy, quiet your mind, and reconnect with your spirit — creating space for clarity, healing, and renewal. Heart of Renewal is my most personal and powerful offering — the one that reflects my purpose: to support recovery and wholeness through holistic, heart-centered care.
