If you’ve ever felt like a square peg in a round hole, you’ve come to the right place!
Growing up in an academic family where logic and the scientific method prevailed, I knew that I wouldn't fit neatly into anyone's expectations. I was the ultimate square peg trying to squeeze into a round hole.
This fundamental sense of not belonging became the breeding ground for my wrongness of self. Enter my escape routes: food, alcohol, and constantly reshaping myself to match what others expected of me. At the time, there didn't seem to be any other alternatives, and some challenging experiences only deepened my desire to escape, eventually leading me down the path of addiction.
While we each have a personal and unique journey, my hope is that my story and where it ultimately led to the creation of Right Recovery for You®—can be inspiring and empowering for you. Remember, you’ve got the rest of your life ahead of you – it’s never too late to create a different life path.
My journey to recovering me began with
entering a traditional treatment program. While it helped me quit drinking, the emphasis on powerlessness, wrongness, and being labeled as "alcoholic" felt limiting. The program did not acknowledge or nurture the creative and generative potential within myself and others.
My own struggles with alcohol, food, and the wrongness of self became the catalyst for creating Right Recovery for You®—a specialty program within Access Consciousness® and a groundbreaking approach to ending any addictive or compulsive behavior.
I am the founder of Right Recovery For You®️, offering classes, private sessions and workshops worldwide for people seeking change beyond addictive and compulsive behaviors.
I am also an international speaker, author, and Access Consciousness Certified Facilitator with over thirty years of experience in addiction, recovery, and mental health. While addiction and recovery are my specialties, I also facilitate many other Access Consciousness classes, making this work accessible to anyone ready to explore greater possibilities.

Who does this belong to?
Is the addiction or mental health issue even yours? I’ve been stunned over the past 30 years at how many people take on the symptoms, behaviors and issues of others.
Whether we learn them from our family or culture, or agree to take on a role for our family, or replicate a way of being from someone else, often what we’ve decided is ours really isn’t. Instead of claiming something debilitating as yours – always ask: Is this really mine? If it lightens up at all, it’s not!
What’s right about me I’m not getting?
I realized about 20 years ago that most of what we consider addictions are really secondary addictions. The primary addiction is to judgment and the wrongness of self, and that’s what really gets people stuck in destructive cycles.
What if you weren’t wrong? What if you were willing to ask on a daily basis: “What’s right about me I’m not getting?” If you are having difficulty with this, ask a friend and be willing to receive the answers. What we focus on tends to grow, so please, focus on what’s right about you!
Here is a clearing I run all the time:
What’s possible (with ________) that I have decided is not possible that if I would allow the possibilities would actualize a totally different reality (with________) Put in whatever you are stuck on – my financial reality, my relationship, my body etc.
Add the Access Consciousness clearing statement.
