We have all experienced some sort of addiction, whether it be to food, work, sex, alcohol, a drug, gambling, shopping, or our cell phone… This unconscious escapism or desire to fill a void runs rampant in our modern day lifestyle. What do we do when addiction is eroding our quality of life and/or our relationships? I find the solution is often in identifying the core wound that is causing you to want to escape, or to fill a void. I offer a more spiritual approach to recovery work in which you will cultivate your relationship with your Higher Self and learn how to keep the addict part of you in the back seat with the seat belt on.

To live authentically and fully, we must have access to our feelings. In short, this means that we can identify, articulate, express, and finally take appropriate action on them. Addictions, while there is a vast continuum in type and intensity, block full access to our feelings. It is our feelings and our ability to effectively manage them (without addictions) that enable us to connect deeply with ourselves and others. They are our "internal compass" allowing us to discern various parts of ourselves as well as our choice in relationships. Therapy is the ideal place to process feelings and learn how to manage them without addictive substances and behavior.

If you are moving into recovery from drugs and alcohol I am here to support your path to strength and growth. From many years of experience with those in early or later recovery from addiction, I would like very much to offer you effective ways of staying present, yet getting underneath where your substance issues began and how to move back into a sober and healthier life. There are often specific career and relationship factors that need to be healed or started anew in a fresh way...often both! I am here to give you that guidance towards adjusting to substance free feelings safely. It can be a great benefit to have support in gently allowing awareness of avoided emotions again.

I am always saying “addiction is an attempt to solve a problem”. My question towards people who struggle with addiction is “what problem were you/are you trying to solve?” Let’s look at the pain and the struggles that led to the addiction and keeps the addiction going. Let’s see what we can uncover when we lift up the rock of addiction and look underneath it. We will also talk about what happens to the brain during addiction and during recovery. I am here to walk with you on this journey and support you through this. I want to help you so that you can experience more peace and serenity in your life.

The famed physician and author encourages us to ask not, 'why the addition' but 'why the pain?' In our society we have the ability to turn to a multitude of substances and behaviors to numb and avoid pain, many of which are not only socially acceptable but encouraged. The brain despises pain. and will do all sorts of things to not feel pain. So how do we help you navigate the painful emotions that lay beneath your use and/or behaviors? Somatic Experiencing is a somatic trauma intervention that can help us to build a foundation from which you learn not only to bear the pain but to process it, let it go and welcome in something new and different. What would you like to welcome in?

I work with a lot of people who are in recovery, who may or may not be in an addiction support program such as 12-step programs. All addictions are attempts to regulate the nervous system. Nervous systems get dysregulated as the after-effect of unresolved trauma. Being a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I use the tools of SE to help clients learn to regulate their nervous systems so the constant unconscious drive to use in order to get relief from anxiety and depression dissipates.
