The shame of not being in control of your life can feel so isolating and anxiety provoking. And the thought of talking about it with someone else can feel paralyzing at times. How did I get here? Why can't I fix this on my own? Why do I keep going back? What is wrong with me? Do I have a drinking problem? Why can't I sleep? Do I need to quit or can I just cut back? Why is my relationship so difficult? These nagging thoughts could go on and on.
Sitting in a room with someone who understands the complex nature of chemical use can be incredibly comforting. Laughing at the crazy things that have happened, sitting with the sadness around your losses, and working toward a place of hope can be life changing.
Some clients will come to session with specific things they want to discuss. And other clients will lean on me to guide the session and assist in the self-exploration process. Most clients I work with say that they wished they wouldn't have waited this long to get help.

I have a special interest in how attachment style effects our ability to feel safe in our world, lean on others for connection, and be vulnerable in relationships. I'm skilled at weaving evidence based practice into the therapeutic experience without it feeling "clinical".
