A personal note.
I’m in recovery from addiction, including an addiction to opioids. Addiction had profound personal and professional consequences in my life, and I choose to be open about that experience. I value honesty, integrity, and accountability.
Recovery has changed my life and helped me become a better person. I chose to continue practicing because I want to use my education, training, and experience to serve others.
At Reverie, I provide local anesthesia without opioids or sedating medications. Clients remain awake and able to communicate throughout their care. My fellowship training in nonsurgical pain management provides the foundation for this approach, and my personal experience makes this work especially meaningful to me.
