Therapist Overview
People struggling with addiction face many barriers in life, from lacking trust with family and friends, to feeling guilty about themselves in feeling incapable of getting better. Why can’t they stop? Why can’t this be cured already? They want to stop, they don’t want to relapse again and again, but can they? They want to know the cause of their addiction, and how it has the ability to effect other parts of their lives, causing depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. They want to gain control of their life and just feel normal again. The best place to start is finding someone to talk to, trust, and be themselves; I can help. My goal is to provide genuine and quality therapy to those struggling with addiction in order to feel content and happy with themselves and their lives. The ability to live a life without addiction being the priority is possible, it just takes patience, work, and willingness to seek help to get there. It’s a big step to take, but the outcome is long-lasting. I can provide a warm and non-judgmental space to talk out issues and build a foundation for the life you want for yourself. Life isn’t just finding yourself, it’s creating yourself. Feel free to set up an appointment at [email protected] or give me a call 630-923-5558 ext. 5.
