Addictions can be so difficult to manage and come out of nowhere. When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the addictive distress that you are experiencing. As I get to know you, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging experiences you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today.
