Hello. I am a person-centered therapist. I specialize in supporting people in long-term recovery from addiction. Phase one of treatment is focused on changing the problematic behavior(s). Phase two involves a process of self-reflection and finding ways to meet the needs that the addiction had previously been intended to address. I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist and I offer several online therapy groups. Seeing you that you are not alone in your challenges can be a powerfully healing experience. Beyond that, group members offer each other practical advice as well as ongoing emotional support.
