Are you drowning in problems related to your drug or alcohol use?  Have you found yourself using to numb yourself, to escape, to avoid having to feel your emotions?  Have you been experiencing conflicts within relationships, problems at work, or legal issues?  I have spent my entire career working with individuals who have a substance use disorder, or who have at least experienced some identified problem as a result of their use.  Whether you have an addiction or have just been experiencing problems with social use, I can help you learn how to work on becoming clean and sober.  We can explore warning signs and triggers, learn new and healthier coping skills, and learn how to make positive changes in your life without the use of drugs or alcohol.  We will look at when and why your use began and work on the underlying problems that led to the substance use in the first place.  But what if you don’t want to stop using?  We can work on harm reduction and learn how to better manage your use and how to be safer about it.  It’s okay to reach out for help.  You don’t have to drown in the depths of addiction.
