Substance Abuse

Addiction ruins our relationship with ourselves and our loved ones. It robs us of our self-esteem and starts the spin cycle of shame. The journey to recovery must be on a road of compassion and being gentle. The route will have ups and downs, sharp curves, and drop-offs.

While a few can go cold turkey, most can expect to fall back in. The critical part of the process is your relationship with yourself when the behaviors win. Can you quickly get back on the horse and forgive yourself? The goal is to decrease the behavior pattern’s intensity, frequency, and duration. 

I will journey with you and help you learn to meet yourself with kindness. Utilizing mindfulness, meditation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy creates a synergy for positive change. Whether you struggle with alcohol, drugs, food, or any activity to excess, I can help you to learn how to stand up to urges and take back control of your life.

My style is compassionate, supportive, and respectful. I would be honored to journey with you to a fuller, abundant life imbued with joy, calm, and ease. It is possible. I offer therapy via online video, in-person and by phone for teens (age 11 & up), adults, and seniors.
