Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Has your alcohol or drug use become more of a problem then an escape? You may find yourself here because you no longer feel in control. You may feel trapped in the cycle of drinking or using. Perhaps you have tried to stop on your own. Relief is possible, but often it requires support from someone who understands addiction. Let's get to the root of the problem. Therapy can help you figure out your "why". Together, we can identify healthy ways to cope. We can clarify your purpose and get you back to a life that isn't dictated by the urge to drink or use drugs.
My approach is non-judgmental, empathetic, and person-centered. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive art therapy, mindfulness meditation, and motivational interviewing. These approaches can increase self-esteem, reduce reliance on substances, and make life feel like less of a struggle.
It takes bravery to start the therapy process. You set the pace that feels manageable and appropriate to your needs. Imagine finally feeling in control and being able to enjoy the things that you use to do without thinking about alcohol or drugs. I look forward to walking alongside you.
