Introduction

Confusion, shame, frustration, grief, hopelessness: these are just a few of the feelings that can come up for people trying to cope with trauma, chemical dependency, codependency, relational issues, & many other mental health challenges. People don't plan to develop addiction & codependency, have unhealthy relationships, or fall into a traumatic crisis. They want to get better, but it's harder than they expected. For some, it can be frightening & difficult knowing how to support loved ones who are having addiction & mental health challenges. They're doing their best, yet so often without the information & support that anyone would need to successfully handle unexpected setbacks. A cycle of self-blame & more problems are often the result. That's why people need kindness & well-informed care to rise above crises and manage their lives better. If any of this is relatable, I hope you reach out for a free 30-minute consultation. I've worked in a therapeutic capacity for nearly 20 years, first as an educator in the community, & now as a licensed marriage family therapist with specialized training in trauma-informed interventions. I've witnessed how a caring, compassionate relationship, realistic goal setting, useful information, practical tools, & the right resources can help people manage inevitable challenges by building a life they want; a meaningful life that increases self-esteem, confidence, well-being, & grace.
