For some people addictions and compulsions are just a way to get rid of bad feelings. The problem is that the bad feelings always come back. Compulsive and addictive behaviors - like obsessive and compulsive disorder, gambling, sexual addictions, eating disorders, cutting, etc. - can work very much like alcohol and substance abuse. They are ways of controlling strong emotional reactions of anxiety, anger, sadness, loneliness or guilt. I use 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to identify and fully resolve the roots of your emotional reactions so that they no longer trigger the urge to self-medicate.

My therapy approach is particularly well suited to help you understand your addictive behaviors. I will guide you to exprience your own insights about the nature of thought and how your thinking contributes to your experience of life, moment by moment. I also provide a variety of resources for you so that you feel supported while you go through the process.

At Mindful Transformations LLC, we understand that addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects individuals on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Our comprehensive approach integrates evidence-based practices with mindfulness techniques to address the underlying causes of addiction, support clients in achieving sobriety, and cultivate long-lasting recovery. Through individualized treatment plans, clients receive care that may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based relapse prevention, and support group involvement. We provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their triggers & develop coping skills.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy you will learn the tools to help you identify your relapse triggers and healthy coping skills. We will work on changing people, places and things to maintain sobriety. We will explore all aspects of your life in order to identify reasons for alcohol and drug use, identify strengths and weaknesses, and increase your motivation and commitment to change.

Like most people, therapist have their own set of addictions, and I must admit, I would probably classify myself as a "coffee addict." However, when addictions interfere with life including work, employment, and close relationships, there may be something more that needs to be addressed such as family history or patterns of addiction via therapy. I work with clients to help them establish different lifestyle choices, and how one lifestyle change can bring about a healthy "domino" effect in other aspects of their life.

I began my career in the treatment of alcohol and drug addiction, and believe that addictions primarily express difficulties people have in tolerating strong emotions. This is a fundamental issue, and the use of substances often masks it and instead becomes the primary focus of living. I will help you to explore how your "love affair" with your substance of choice brings you anxiety relief in the short term and defeats your interest and ability to grow and develop in the long term. We will also discuss the value of 12 step programs.

People typically think of addiction as being related to alcohol and drugs only. However, in our ever-changing world, individuals are also suffering from addictions relating to the internet, porn, gambling, social media, phones, food, work, and exercise. I treat all types of addiction from an interpersonal and dynamic theoretical orientations. I help transform suffering into peace.
