The Solution for addictions and negative habits

Anything you cannot go painlessly without, that leads to unwanted consequences, is a negative habit. People form negative habits that often become addictions to cope with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.  

Addictions serve a very distinct purpose.  They sedate - tranquilize or control uncomfortable emotions such as a anxiety, depression, loneliness, fear, anger and/or grief.   In short, they help you disengage and leave the uncomfortable emotions behind.  Temporarily that is.

For the past twenty years I have worked with people with a variety of addictions, bad habits, and negative ways of thinking.  All of them wanted to break free because they realized how out of control their lives had become.  Their addiction had become a noose around their neck.

After I received my master's in developmental psychology,  I worked in traditional settings that treated drug and alcohol addictions and found the therapies for the most part to be unsatisfactory.  In too many cases once they left treatment they relapsed.  This concerned me.  So I set out to find alternative therapies and approaches that were truly helpful and transformative.

What I discovered has helped my clients.  For the past 11 years I have had my own private practice using cutting edge techniques that not only help people end their addictions, but also get to the root cause of why the addiction occurred in the first place. So whether it is a food addiction like binge-eating, binge-purging, or  opioids or alcohol abuse, the techniques are effective.
