Katie’s personal journey of overcoming Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) through the Sinclair Method (TSM) gives her a deeply empathetic and informed perspective to guide others on their own paths. As a peer mentor, she provides one-on-one support, helping individuals navigate TSM and transform their relationship with alcohol, themselves, and their lives. Katie’s approach is rooted in active listening and asking meaningful questions, empowering individuals to access their own inner wisdom for healing and growth.

Alongside this personalized guidance, she shares practical and applicable tips for building new habits, creating coping skills, and shifting perspectives on alcohol:

• Building New Habits: Katie encourages starting small, focusing on one manageable change at a time with consistency.
• Creating New Coping Skills: Katie helps individuals identify healthier ways to manage stress, boredom, or emotions previously tied to drinking.
• Shifting Perspectives on Alcohol: Katie works with individuals to reframe their relationship with alcohol, viewing it through a lens of curiosity rather than judgment. She encourages reflecting on questions like, “What is alcohol doing for me versus to me?” or imagining how a “normal drinker” might approach certain situations to foster healthier patterns.

Katie combines these strategies with practical tools and compassionate guidance to help individuals overcome challenges and create sustainable change through the Sinclair Method. She is also the founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery, a program dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized support to those on their TSM journey, empowering them to reclaim their lives and discover their full potential.
