Many are unsure if they have an addiction, or if they really are an alcoholic. Sometimes you drink too much, have regrets the next day, feel embarrassed about losing control and worry about your health. Drinking and using to numb the pain leaves you feeling very alone. You are sick of hiding, of keeping secrets. Should you stop altogether or figure out how to moderate? I can help this exploration in a non-judgmental way to find answers. Many people in recovery are often disappointed their ‘problems’ are not fixed; they feel stuck, depressed and anxious and relationship challenges persist.
With over 25 years of experience, I work with young adults and adults and specialize in Motivation Enhancement Therapy (MET) and Cognitive Behavioral techniques (CBT). A collaborative approach, meeting you where you are now, working together with motivational techniques where you feel respected, heard, and validated while reaching the goals you set.
It can be hard to reach out given the shame and embarrassment...MET is about finding your truth and to live in a healthy, fulfilling authentic and sustainable way. People feel empowered from focusing on their strengths and building resources. They feel more connected, unstuck, motivated to move forward and hopeful.
