About My Clients
If you're thinking about renegotiating your relationship to substances, thoughts like these may have crossed your mind: —You’ve tried setting limits but struggle to stick to them. —You wish you could use intoxicants “like normal people do.” —Drugs and alcohol remind you of happy times you wish to relive. —Drinking, smoking, or using drugs feels interwoven in your lifestyle and/or social life. I hear you, and believe in your capacity to build an intentional relationship with substances.
My Background and Approach
Whether you're seeking to cut out substances from your life entirely or figuring out how to use them with more intention and control, I hope to be a supporter in your process. So often substance use is a response to pain, stress, and trauma—one that's effective, until it isn't. And sometimes we just grow into unintentional relationships with substances because they're all around us and, well—they feel good. Both origin stories are perfectly valid reasons to lean into the support therapy can provide. I utilize attachment-based, neurobiologically-informed approaches to help understand the role substances play in your life. Using mindfulness, distress tolerance, and other coping strategies, we'll work together to diversify your tools of self-regulation.
