Something feels off, but you can't explain it to the people around you. Maybe you've pulled away from family and friends without
knowing why, or leaving the house has become impossible. A racing heart and sudden dread can hit out of nowhere, making ordinary
situations feel dangerous. Maybe you're a few weeks out of a hospital stay, still trying to make sense of what happened and figure out
what comes next. Or you've noticed that what you're using to cope has quietly become its own problem. You're carrying something
real, and you deserve a therapist who can meet you where you are and help you find your way through it.

I believe addiction is rooted from emotional pain and unmet needs. As Canadian
physician Gabor Mate once asked, “The first question isn’t why the addiction; it’s why the pain?” Working with attachment theory and processing adverse childhood experiences can help identify ways in which addictive behaviors offer short-term benefits and long-term costs, making it difficult to actually meet underlying needs. When we begin to process the pain or emotional unmet need, we begin to become more aligned with our sense of identity.
