Trauma can have profound and long-lasting effects. It can damage your ability to cope with daily life and prevent you from enjoying life. You may have struggled with a sense of disconnection from yourself and the world around you. It can feel like you're going through the motions, but can't fully engage or feel present, as if a fog has settled over your mind.

Grief is a complex and individual experience that can manifest in various ways. It is a natural response to loss, and people may grieve the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, or any significant change or loss in their lives. Debilitating sadness, anger, guilt, and fear often accompany experiences of profound grief. You may be in shock or disbelief, feel confused, and overwhelmed by your feelings. I can help you through this difficult and often horrible time.
We can think of substance abuse and addiction as an attempt to reinforce the self which feel good in the moment but do not lead to the strenghthening of the self. Often the opposite occurs — a deterioration of the self. It involves a pattern of excessive or inappropriate use that results in physical dependence, psychological cravings, and detrimental effects on one's personal and professional life. Key indicators include neglect of responsibilities, risky behaviors, and deteriorating physical and mental health. I offer therapy for substance abuse including comprehensive treatment approaches to help individuals understand the roots of their addiction and build psychic strengths so that they can live productive lives without the use of substances.
