In her words…

My name is Amy and my past roller coaster journey of this beautiful “life” has given me the opportunity to provide you and those around you the guidance to work through addiction, unhealthy behaviors, unresolved trauma, and family dynamics. I truly believe that we are “ALL WORTHY” of Healing!

In my personal recovery I strive daily to embrace humility. An attitude of gratitude, honesty with self first and others, removing my self inflated ego, being mentally healthy along with physical health. I also cling to my faith in a higher power.

Recovery is a LIFESTYLE change. When we move a muscle, we change a thought. That first “move” is scary and change IS uncomfortable. Whether you are the one struggling, a family, a friend, or a colleague, Pursuit of Recovery is here to help guide you in taking the first baby step towards a new journey in life!

In the beginning, we crawl, then we stand, we walk and then for most we run! In your PURSUIT (your chase) of RECOVERY, I want to be with you for those pivotal moments! I will help you PUSH through the pain, shame, and guilt of unresolved trauma or childhood chaos and confusion.

Dr. Gabor Mate says it best: “Addictions always originate in pain, whether felt openly or hidden in the unconscious. They are emotional anesthetics.”

Being here for you is an honor and a privilege.

Addiction is not just about substances. You could be struggling with a “processed” addiction, which is also called “behavioral addiction”. Some of the few processed addictions we work with are: Gambling, food, electronics, work, sex, exercise, shopping, and money.

I am here to help you pursue your OWN recovery. Your pursuit will be RE-Creating, RE-Inventing, RE-Vamping, RE-Directing, RE-Searching, and RE-Routing to find and embrace YOUR RECOVERY.
