Accepting New Clients! You’re tired of the same patterns—numbing with substances, chasing connection that never feels secure, or pushing people away before they get too close. Deep down, you know there’s more to the story. The anxiety, shame, and disconnection aren’t random—they’re signals. I help adults struggling with addiction and attachment issues understand those patterns and heal from the inside out. There is a way forward, and it starts with getting real about what’s not working.

As a therapist specializing in addiction and attachment, I help adults break free from the cycles that keep them stuck. Together, we make sense of your patterns, heal the roots, and build healthier ways to cope and connect. You’ll feel more grounded, clear, and in charge of your life again, with support that actually gets it.

Ready to stop the cycle and feel more like yourself again? I work with adults navigating addiction and messy attachment stuff—no judgment, just real support. Call or email me to book your free consult. We’ll chat about what’s going on and see if we’re a good fit. Let’s make space for something better!
