If you’re ready to start on the path to emotional health, behavioral change or improved relationships, let’s start by talking. I’ll help you identify the root cause of challenges, and develop therapies to help you overcome them. Years of experience with a wide range of issues, in varied settings, informs my specialized expertise in:
Addictions
Addictions come in many forms from drugs and alcohol, to shopping, gambling, hording, pornography and more. If your habits have begun to affect your finances, work, family, other relationships or well being, it’s time to seek help. I can guide you in changing behaviors and developing strategies for remaining addiction free.
Co-Dependency
Co-Dependency is an often misunderstood condition that affects many in the extended recovery community. If you are dealing with co-dependency you most likely place lower priority on one's own needs, while being excessively preoccupied with the needs of others. Codependency can occur in any type of relationship, including family, work, friendship, and also romantic, peer or community relationships. Codependency may also be characterized by;
Denial
Low self-esteem
Excessive compliance
Patterns of control
Left unaddressed those who suffer from co-dependent behaviors are never able to truly move ahead in their lives. I can identify and provide therapy for family members and others with co-dependency issues to help ensure you learn to live the life you deserve.
Life Management Skills
Dealing with the many complex issues of life can be overwhelming. Sometimes, someone else’s issues become your own, affecting your life in negative ways. So many of us waste valuable time and energy obsessing about things beyond our control. In these cases, there is often a disconnect between emotional reaction and intellectual understanding. It is important to realize that you can’t control anything in life only manage your relationship to it. I can help you devise coping skills and problem-solving strategies needed to cope with whatever life throws at you.
