SPECIALTIES
Addiction Recovery
Different individuals may require different paths to recovery. In working with addiction by pulling from abstinence-based and harm reduction interventions, treatment options may be tailored to each individual's unique needs.
​
Individuals in recovery often find themselves needing additional support to address issues that arise in early and long-term sobriety. Therapy can assist in addressing underlying issues, relapse prevention, exploring identity outside of addiction, and managing co-occuring disorders.
Sexual Trauma
Sexual abuse and sexual trauma can lead to a variety of symptoms including shame, anger, disconnection to self, dissociation, low self-esteem, difficulties with trust and intimacy, and more.
Processing the trauma typically involves creating a safe and supportive environment within the therapeutic setting to address the emotional impact, exploring coping strategies, and working towards healing and recovery.
Grief
Grief is a complex emotional response to loss. If grief goes unprocessed, it may manifest in various ways such as depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, difficulty in relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.
​
Processing grief in therapy is not about "getting over" the loss but rather learning to integrate it into one's life through exploration and expression of emotions related to the loss.
Identity Exploration
Therapy offers a safe space to explore and understand your identity by uncovering key beliefs, values, and experiences that shape who you are. It helps clarify different aspects of your identity, such as culture, sexuality, or gender, and aligns your actions with your authentic self. Through reflection and guidance, therapy can boost self-acceptance and confidence in navigating identity changes.
Porn Addiction
Porn and sex addiction can be a symptom indicating deeper underlying conflicts. By uncovering unconscious emotions, unmet needs, or addressing trauma, individuals are better able to understand the impulses and feelings that contribute to these compulsive behaviors.
​
Addiction can often be a tool for regulation, providing temporary relief from distress, boredom, loneliness, or a lack of self-worth. Through exploring these emotions and patterns, individuals can develop healthier ways to process and manage their feelings, reducing reliance on addictive behaviors.
Relationship Difficulties
Whether you're seeking to address relationship difficulties individually or as a couple, therapy provides a valuable opportunity to examine recurring patterns and cycles.
Through identifying these patterns, we can help uncover and address underlying issues to create healthier and more fulfilling connections.
By fostering greater understanding and self-awareness, therapy can supply individuals and couples with tools to break unhelpful cycles, improve communication, and build stronger, mutually aligned relationships.
