In working with Addiction, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. EMDR is traditionally seen as a technique specifically used in working with trauma. This is true and most of the time, addiction is rooted in trauma so it can be helpful as a dual diagnosis approach. However, EMDR can also be used specifically to help with addictions because it can be used to desensitize triggers for using and help clients maintain sobriety.

I firmly believe people do their best to create a meaningful life. I believe that people use Alcohol and drugs for a reason and it serves a purpose in their life. Maybe it helped change the feelings? Maybe it covered up or quiet thoughts? Maybe it created a feeling of confidence? Maybe it helped you feel like you belonged? Do any of those “maybes” resonate for you? If we asked how they are working, most would probably say it’s not working anymore. Addiction counseling provides you with support, resources, and we create a road map to your recovery. Learn new skills is a significant part of addiction counseling, including: Recovery Skills – Communication, Interpersonal, and Refusal Skill.

Addiction is something that helps us feel better. Here's where it comes from. As kids, we're supposed to bond in a healthy way with our parents. It's through this bond with our parents that we learn how to regulate ourselves. When we don't bond in a healthy way, or don't learn how to self-regulate through our connection with our parents, we need to do it some other way. That's where addiction comes from. If we can learn to create the feelings that our addiction gives us on our own - joy, bliss, relaxation, connection, etc., and combine that with nutritional support that gives our brain the right chemicals, we can move forward. I'm here to support you in getting to the root and doing that.

I work with clients with sexual addictions, such as compulsive pornographic internet consumption. Research on the impact of such addictions is used to determine if or how this information fits with client experiences. This information is combined with the client's unique experiences to determine the level of honest commitment to change. If change is sought, we then work to identify triggers and devise coping strategies to intercept the chain of events leading to relapse. When relapse is an issue, we address it deliberately but delicately, understanding the toxic and unhelpful nature of shame and it's impact on addictive cycles.
