In my years of experience treating trauma, substance misuse, codependency, relational issues, & other mental health challenges, I've seen the shame, self-blame, confusion, frustration, loss, & hopelessness that come with difficulty coping. For some people, it can be frightening & difficult knowing how to support loved ones who are having mental health challenges, whether it is a parent, child, spouse, sibling, or friend. I recognize a desire to feel safe, understood, & to develop better coping skills that help with overcoming challenges & restoring self-esteem, confidence, meaningful relationships, well-being, & grace.
I've seen how a caring, compassionate relationship, realistic goals, useful information, practical tools, & good resources can help people manage inevitable challenges by building a life they want. I have specialized training in trauma-informed approaches & experience in substance misuse and recovery treatment, codependency, abuse, and relationship work.
Reaching out to someone for help can be a challenging first step, especially if it's resulted in feeling judged, misunderstood, or disempowered. I hope you take this first empowering step. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to explore if I would be the right therapist for you. If not, I'm happy to provide a referral.
