"My drinking/substance use isn't a big deal--except for that one thing." | "Therapy is for other people, not for me." | "I can fix this myself... but I've been saying that for a while." | "I can't imagine telling anyone about this."
My clients are often questioning whether they drink or use too much, have been told they drink too much, or are aware that they really need to change but are scared they can't. For over 15 years, I have supported people to build the skills to meet life more successfully--even when they already found themselves in trouble. I talk with those who have questions but aren't sure therapy is for them, provide a smooth transition for those exiting more intensive substance use treatment, and address both mental health and substance use concerns.
As a telehealth only therapist, I can work with people located anywhere in the state of Illinois. If you're interested in scheduling a free 10-15 minute consultation, send me an appointment request. I look forward to meeting you!
