Our Work Together
Many of my clients come to me with concerns about their use of mood-altering substances or activities. Counseling and psy-chotherapy can be useful at many points along the path of recovery, including helping an individual gain the clarity and motivation necessary to continue the process of recovery. Often, those who are newly sober must deal head-on with memories, feelings, and dysfunctional relationships that compelled their desire to be numb in the first place. Without external support and guidance, the likelihood of relapse increases.
More Curiosity, Less Judgement
Disconnection is a way that we protect ourselves from emotional pain, often in response to early experiences of abandonment or loss of autonomy. I seek to foster my clients’ curiosity concerning how they are struggling with disconnection from self and others.
