Sometimes it is hard to find support when dealing with a chronic condition. We can support your recovery from chronic personality issues and encourage engagement in therapeutic groups to supplement your recovery journey.

We have a comprehensive planning grant to offer free services for people who use drugs. This includes comprehensive recovery support services including therapy, individual peer support, and peer support group.

I've spent years of my career developing recovery program for people who use substances to escape or feel better. We will assess the degree of the issue. We do not require abstinence; we move toward harm reduction using motivational interviewing.

We explore the childhood experience using our workbook The Connection Equation. The diagrams we use help people understand how their childhood programmed them to think a certain way and act a certain way with others. We aim to dismantle this programming through mindful exploration and understanding. The more you know, the more conscious you can be to reprogram your brain so that you can live the life you have always dreamed of.

Hey there.... do you have conflict with people? Are you sensitive to what they say and do? You are not alone! You probably have codependency issues from childhood programming, and we can totally work with that! Our services will help you develop a solid sense of yourself that is not easily swayed by anyone else. Your new confidence will attract the right kind of people to you. This will minimize conflict and enhance satisfaction and joyful experiences in your interactions with others.

Hi! We all want solutions, right? I like to make sure that we are on the right track by testing options for new patterns and routines. We keep what works and ditch the rest. Building a new lifestyle is hard. It's so easy to just fall back into old patterns. Step by step we can integrate our behaviors into a whole new way of being if we just practice what works.

I help people explore life's core issues, like "why are we here, what should I do with my life, why am i lonely, and what must I accomplish before I die?" This is the core of existential therapy. Pondering life's biggest questions to redirect behavior towards life practices that creating meaning and purpose.

Psychodynamic therapy is the evolution of Freudian psychoanalyst into the world of today. Yes, we will discuss your childhood. Yes, we will see how your relationship with your parents has shaped your view of the world. However, we take this knowledge and use it to integrate that trauma. When this trauma is integrated into your self-concept, it stops being painful and starts to be source of strength. We pride ourselves in turning pain into power.

I am willing to work with individuals with personality disorders, as well as relationships where one or both partners have personality disordered traits. I utilize a DBT skills training approach to working with both individuals and couples. I prioritize mindfulness skills as a means of identity and intimacy building, creating a foundation of peace and calm from which love and safety can evolve.
