I am highly experienced in using the Compassionate Inquiry approach developed by Gabor Maté. Dr. Maté first developed this approach in his work with addiction. Addictions often result from repetitive choices we make in order to feel more connected: emotionally connected, physically connected, and/or spiritually connected. Some addictions decrease physical pain while others may numb emotional overwhelm. Together, we can explore ways to bring compassion and understanding to your addictions. This is a first step. What we resist can persist. Building support systems and bringing structured approaches to addiction may also be needed.

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 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.

Are you frustrated that you have tried everything and nothing has worked for you yet? Addictions are symptoms of a deeper longing. I love to explore what that deeper longing might be for each of my clients. What get's you out of bed in the morning? Are you deeply connected with yourself or do you tend to live in your head? I offer a strengths based counseling style that will explore all of these topics with you.

I have been sober for 13 years and believe the struggles I have had with addiction allows me to be very effective this work. I have worked with hundreds of addicts and really enjoy this work. Overcoming addiction is much more than learning coping skills. Coping skills are definitely a part of it, but the biggest part is learning/growing so that you can enjoy life without whatever it is you are addicted to. The only way I believe we can stay sober long term, is too feel so good that we don't need something to make us feel better. It's the happiness we obtain in sobriety that will keep us sober not the remembrance of the suffering of the worst days of your addiction.
