Addictions

Addictions are compelling and can overcome your best resolve, keeping you helpless to resist their pull and repeating the same self-destructive actions. Addictions signal that we are trying to self-medicate, numb, or avoid issues, situations, and pain that originate inside of us from unresolved feelings and challenges to healthy coping strategies. My approach to addictions is compassionate and empathic. I emphasize problem solving and seek to empower you with creative solutions to stop the problematic self-medicating and get to the root of your problems leading you to achieve less dependence and eventually freedom from the urge to self-medicate.
