Substance use often starts as something that helps — a way to quiet anxiety, ease pain, or get through the day. But over time, what once felt like relief might start to feel like something you’re managing, hiding, or trying to control.

You might not call it a problem. You might not be sure you want to stop. But something in you is paying attention. Something feels off. Maybe you're tired of feeling stuck. Maybe you're wondering what else is possible.

That’s enough to begin.

I offer non-judgmental, trauma-informed therapy for adults who are exploring their relationship with substances. Whether you’re thinking about cutting back, questioning your habits, or navigating recovery, we’ll move at your pace — with curiosity, not shame.

You might be dealing with:

• Using substances to manage stress, anxiety, or emotional pain

• Feeling guilt, confusion, or shame around how much or how often you use

• Difficulty stopping, even when part of you wants to

• A sense that you're not fully present or in control

• Using more than you intended, or more often than you’d like

• A push-pull between wanting change and feeling afraid of it

• Past trauma or patterns that make substances feel necessary

You don’t have to fit a label to deserve support. You don’t need a rock bottom to want something different.

In therapy, we’ll work together to:

• Understand the "why" beneath your use without judgment

• Explore what’s working, what’s not, and what you want instead

• Build coping tools that feel accessible and meaningful

• Create a path forward that honors your values and your readiness

This isn’t about shame or pressure. It’s about possibility — and support for the version of you that’s ready to emerge.

Reach out for a free consultation. Let’s talk about what change might look like, and how we can walk toward it together.
