I work with teens, adults, and older adults who are dealing with trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, and the hard work of trying to move forward when life feels off track. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by cravings, guilt, shame, relationship strain, or old patterns they are ready to break. Sometimes sobriety is just the beginning, and the deeper work is learning how to rebuild trust, manage emotions, and put life back together in a healthier way.
