Addictions can absolutely destroy our lives. Even if it doesn't, it will at least cause major anxiety, strain our relationships, and negatively affect our careers. I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle with many types of addictions including substance addictions and sexual addictions.

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.

Addictions can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you get to where you wish to be.
