Are you tired of trying to hold it all together? Have you turned to alcohol, drugs, porn, or unhealthy sexual behaviors to cope? Are friends and family increasingly concerned? Are you fighting more with your partner or loved ones, blowing up in anger or simply avoiding conflict? Are consequences piling up in relationships, at home, work, or school? Or are you watching as this becomes the reality for a loved one? I am profoundly aware of the toll substances and addictive behaviors can take on individuals and families from my 7 yrs experience in addiction treatment. Therapy is a great place to start if you are looking for a change.
Together, we can develop healthy boundaries, improve communication and coping skills, develop relapse prevention plans, and work through the shame that fuels addiction. We will work towards your goals of experiencing more serenity and relief from compulsion, and living a life of integrity.
Remember, it's never too late to seek help. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance abuse or any other mental health concern, please give me a call. I have Immediate Availability for in-person and telehealth sessions with affordable sliding scale, self-pay fee! Call/email now and together we can navigate the path towards healing and recovery.
