SUBSTANCE MISUSE 

Working with addiction initially lead me into the extensive work of Trauma.  I have come to experience all sorts of issues may be based in this type of overwhelm.  Often behind substance misuse is Trauma, since substances are one way to sooth those overwhelming feelings.  The misuse of substances may also have a biological basis, or it may be a way of coping with painful situations and feelings.  If you are using more than intended and think that this is a problem, or others are telling you you have a problem, there is a new way of responding to your substance misuse.  I can help.  I have worked extensively in this area with individuals, families, teens and coaching parents.  If you are ready for change, or if you have tried to change before, and are seeking support now please free to call.  We are not meant to be on this journey alone.
