Maybe your life looks good on paper, but it doesn't feel the way you hoped it would. You're getting everything done. You're showing up for work, your family, and everyone who depends on you. But underneath it all, you're anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or wondering when you started just getting through the day. Maybe you've noticed yourself reaching for another glass of wine more often than you'd like, or relying on habits that no longer feel aligned with the life you want to live. You don't have to wait until things fall apart to make a change.

I help people change course early. Whether you're navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or becoming more intentional about your relationship with alcohol, we'll get curious about what's keeping you stuck, reconnect with what matters most, and build a life that feels more aligned with the person you want to be.

My approach is warm, practical, and compassionate. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, make sense of old patterns, and create meaningful change that lasts. If you've been thinking, "I'm not in crisis... but I don't want to keep living this way," I'd love to meet you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Treatment often involves clarifying what's no longer working, strengthening decision-making under stress, and creating more choice around habits that feel automatic or necessary. Clients often report feeling more grounded, more intentional, and less pulled by urges or patterns they don't want running the show.

Groups

Relapse Prevention Therapy Process Group

Hosted by

Alana Van Zanten

This group focuses on the core tenants of Relapse Prevention for people in addiction recovery. This group is based off of the Gorski-CENAPS model, which I am a faculty trainer of. Participants will learn how to identify their personal relapse warning signs and develop strategies to move towards progress in recovery. This group differs from the coaching group in that it is an ongoing processing group. Participants must have a commitment to abstinence during the course of this group.

Emotion Regulation in Sobriety Group

Hosted by

Alana Van Zanten

This group focuses on basic Dialectical Behavioral tenants. Many people in active addiction use substances to change the way they feel. Experiencing emotions in sobriety can present new challenges. The aim for this coaching group is to help its members learn and practice new strategies to regulate their emotions without the use of substances.
