Healing is a Journey not a Destination
addiction
Do any of these sound familiar?
using substances to help cheer you up or “numb” you out to avoid difficult situations
losing your connection to family or friends
keeping your substance use a secret
feeling out of control & fast changing moods
spending money on substances instead of food, bills or other essentials
a feeling of emptiness or hopelessness
difficulty dealing with emotions without using
increased tolerance ~ using more and for longer periods
Blackouts or difficulty thinking clearly
using alone or first thing in the morning
You don’t have to walk this road alone
Let’s work on your healing plan together. Whether you want to reduce your use, find ways to use safely, or completely stop I’m right here with you.
my journey has focused on helping individuals and families struggling with addiction
I have extensive experience working with individuals 16 years of age and up in a hospital setting withdrawing from drugs and alcohol. I provide education on substance use and abuse, it’s effects, and look at biological, psychological and social determinants of use. I take several different therapeutic approaches catered to each individual situation and experience. It’s not only about what you use, but why you use. I have also assisted families with a loved one who is struggling, with a focus on young adults and adult children of individuals struggling with addiction.
