Whether it is you struggling with addiction or if you are close to someone who struggles, dealing with addiction can not be done alone. I work with both teens and adults in regards to their struggles with using substances to cope and work on finding more effective ways to cope, working through triggers, and utilizing their support system.

Let's face it, addressing our pasts is challenging, intimidating and scary. Opening that box up that we have may have had tightly shut for many years is not easy and so essential to help us radically accept and make meaning out of what happened. In therapy, there are a variety of ways to tackle this. The interventions that I utilize include: talk-therapy, trauma narratives and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). 

Here is more information for EMDR linked below:

When addressing trauma it is important to ensure our clients have an effective set of coping skills on hand to help them work through the process in a smooth manner.
