Therapists » Drug & Alcohol Counselor
Going through life feeling misunderstood, disconnected from others, uncomfortable in your skin, and that the world isn’t to be trusted can be a lonely and frightening endeavor. Using drugs and or alcohol may seem to be the only real relief. Everyone has two sides to them, one believing nothing will ever change and another hoping for a better way. I provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore the negative self-talk and inner critic that prevents you from being your authentic self, leading you to use substances to cope. I practice Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative conversation to help strengthen a person’s motivation to change. My focus is to offer empathy, compassion, and kindness so you can explore your inner conflicts. I will collaborate with you in a non-judgemental space so that you can find the answers that have always been in you and reach your dreams. I also work with family members, family systems, and loved ones of people who are struggling with substance use. Your loved one may or may not be ready to change and you have the choice to not be crippled by your loved one’s substance use. Thank you for taking the first step in your search for true joy and happiness.
