Have you or a loved one been struggling with addiction? Do you often isolate or avoid others because you don’t want them to know, and are left feeling helpless, and exhausted? Addiction is a challenge that is not easy to overcome, and is nearly impossible to deal with alone. By reading this, you are taking the first step in committing to a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you are impacted by someone else’s addiction, you are taking a step toward understanding the addictive behaviors, and exploring how to be supportive without enabling harmful behaviors. I have extensive experience working with high-functioning individuals with substance use and co-occurring mood disorders, as well as severe mental health illness. My approach is psychodynamic, and collaborative. We will work together in the therapeutic process to understand and change reoccurring behaviors in order to heal and grow. For me, therapy is about gaining a deeper understanding of patterns that don't seem to be working in order to live more authentically. I am empathetic, and easy to talk to. I will work with you to help to understand and change behavior patterns that may be hindering you from living your full potential. Please call or email me with any questions.
