I have worked through my own addiction issues, and it was through my own healing that I learned so much about the root causes of addiction. I don’t focus on treating the “what” and instead focus on the “why?” You can't change the fruit until you change the root. Helping people truly overcome addiction means truly getting to the root cause of the problem and making a change there.

A deeper connection to ourselves can reduce our need for immediate gratification. Dialectical Therapy compares the margins in between our thoughts and feelings. Gaining new awareness helps us work through challenges by allowing us to consider our experiences more accurately. Increasing awareness to our own experience has everything to do with how we relate to ourselves and others.

Many people are caught up in some destructive patterns that can be very difficult to change. Understanding other options to intervene on our habits that have us rather than us having them is necessary to being able to act in our own best interest. Learn with me what it takes! Attachment issues play a huge role in why we become so addicted and attempt to control what we have no real control over.

My addiction therapy is a combination of Internal Family Systems, Somatic, Narrative, ACT, and mindfulness approaches that emphasize daily practices to sustain the sober way of life. The goal of addictions therapy is for a person's whole life to be transformed, and all their relationships to be healed. This takes time, diligence, and community.

I believe there are many approaches to healing addiction. The disease model is one of the most prevalent models for understanding addiction. There are helpful components of this model such as issues of control centered around the object of addiction and the thinking that accompanies this. Addiction can also be a response to unprocessed trauma. Developing a mindful approach to treating addiction allows for a different relationship with it. Change is possible when we learn to live in the present.

I work with many people looking to change to their relationship to substances. I provide a nonjudgmental space for you to clarify your goals and support you in reaching them. I can help with abstinence or moderation goals, and if you don’t know what you want yet or if you are even ready to make a change, we’re good. We’ll talk it through, step by step, and get you where you want to go.
