You'd be "fine" without therapy, but you know there's probably some stuff you could sort through as you work on becoming an even better version of yourself: anxiety in certain situations, how you deal with conflict, "stuff" that comes up in relationships. On the surface you're doing well. You've "made it" by society's standards, but haven't found the "hack" to happiness and just can't be present. People might be surprised if they learned that below it all you sometimes really struggle...struggle to know how to cope in healthy ways, how to handle all of the overwhelm, and how to get our of your own mind - and out of your own way.

My ideal client is aware of the toll addiction has taken on their life. They may face challenges with substances like alcohol, drugs, or behavioral addictions such as gambling, sex, food, technology or even work. Often, their struggles include co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety or depression. They need a compassionate, non-judgmental environment to address their addiction and underlying emotional complexities. They seek evidence-based, personalized strategies for regaining control, including coping skills for cravings, emotional regulation techniques, and ways to repair relationships affected by addiction.

After working with individuals, couples, and families for over thirty years I have come to two conclusions. At the root of most problems is an unhealthy relationship. Secondly, most of us have developed unhealthy coping strategies to deal with the challenges. Our old ways of coping cause conflict in our most important relationships today. Together we will identify and understand these behaviors, learn new skills and uncover our authentic self. Only then we will achieve our goals. Change is possible!
