I offer a comprehensive care that addresses both the underlying causes of addiction and the co-occurring mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma. I offer a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to meet your unique needs, including Psychotherapy, Medication management, Mindfulness practices, and Holistic interventions. My goal is to empower you to reclaim control of your life, break free from destructive patterns, and cultivate a sense of purpose and fulfillment

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based interventions, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), have been developed and widely researched. I incorporate these interventions along with practices such as meditation, body scans, and mindful movement exercises. They have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and stress.

Hypnotherapy

I am a trained and certified Hypnotherapist from Southwest Institute of healing Arts . Hypnotherapy can be used as an effective complimentary treatment and can be used to address a wide range of issues, including managing stress and anxiety, overcoming phobias and fears, improving sleep, managing chronic pain, enhancing performance, and changing unwanted habits or behaviors such as smoking cessation or weight loss.

Supportive

I offer supportive psychotherapy and a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their challenges, and develop practical skills to cope more effectively with life's ups and downs.
