How are alcohol or other drugs showing up in your life? Anxiety and depression can be contributing factors and/or consequences. Maybe you're questioning if you have a problem, or you are in early recovery and want support to maintain your sobriety. You might feel discouraged when you break promises to yourself to cut back or stop. Trying to hide your use from family and friends can be exhausting. Sometimes habits turn into patterns that are hard to break despite your best intentions. Unresolved trauma can make recovery challenging. Imagine your life without this problem. How would your relationships with family and friends improve ? Would it free up time, money or space to do things that bring you joy? How about replacing criticism and judgement with curiosity and self-compassion? As an LCSW and LCADC I have been priviledged to help numerous clients achieve and maintain sobriety. Your treatment plan includes finding ways to reduce/relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. These may be causes or consequences of your use. I will teach you skills to manage your emotions and reduce/eliminate your use. Willpower not required, just the courage to show up. Call/email me when you're ready to talk about the possibility of change.
