You're not in crisis. You're just tired of circling the same questions.
You've done the reading, the reflecting, the “trying to figure it all out”, but things haven’t improved.
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to want something better.
You just have to be ready to stop pretending it’s “not that bad.”
Does this sound familiar?
-
The life you have
• You’re led by your emotions and it’s impacted every part of your life.
• You come home from a long day at work and your first thought is to have a drink.
• You feel like your gut just got hollowed out when you think about life without alcohol or drugs.
• You have trouble keeping your temper in check without self-medicating.
• Your self-esteem has taken a hit because you haven’t been honest with your loved ones about how overwhelmed you feel.
-
The life you want
• You know exactly how to stay calm and move forward when you’re confronted with hard tasks or difficult people.
• You’re able to manage any challenge you face without returning to old crutches that made things worse.
• You finally know what it’s like to have peace of mind, and the people you care about tell you they can see and feel the change in you.
• When you look in the mirror, your eyes twinkle with pride in who you are and how you live your life.
• You look forward to getting up in the morning.

I always ask my clients, "Why are you here? Why now?” These are the answers I hear most often:
I want to stay sober.
I want to be happy.
I want peace of mind.
I don't know who I am.
I want to be more confident.
I want my family to trust me again.
I want to make my own decisions.
I want to make better decisions.
If I can just get a little time sober, everything will work itself out.
All of those goals are possible for you, irrespective of your history.

If you’ve ever been called too much, too intense, or too difficult—I’m probably the right therapist for you.
I don’t believe in calling people “difficult”. You’re a person in pain, and I’m here to help.
You are not attention-seeking; you are connection-seeking.
