Addiction and trauma often leave people feeling split between who they are and who they want to be. You might find yourself stuck in patterns that numb pain but also deepen it, reaching for control, substances, or distance in relationships. Maybe you’ve survived experiences that left you hyperaware, anxious, or disconnected from your body and others. You long for peace, closeness, and self-trust, yet the past keeps resurfacing. Whether you’re rebuilding after trauma, breaking free from addiction, or trying to reconnect with a partner, you want relief, direction, and the chance to feel whole again.
At Luceris Psychotherapy Clinic, I work with clients navigating addiction, trauma, and relational disconnection. My approach blends evidence-based modalities, and trauma-informed care, to uncover what drives the cycle of avoidance and pain. Together, we explore how your history shapes the present, develop new emotional skills, and build safety in connection.
You don’t need to have everything under control to begin. Healing starts with an honest moment, naming what hurts and allowing yourself to be seen. Whether you’re working through trauma, rebuilding trust after addiction, or finding your way back to emotional closeness, therapy is where that process begins. At Luceris, we walk with you toward calm, connection

I work with individuals healing from trauma and addiction, and with couples navigating relationship distress. Therapy helps uncover the emotions, beliefs, and patterns that keep pain alive, whether through avoidance, conflict, or disconnection. Together we'll rebuild safety, strengthen resilience, and create genuine change.
