Counseling for addiction and codependency in Citrus Heights, CA. Help for alcohol and substance abuse, pornography, sex and internet addiction, gambling, and compulsive spending. I believe that as we grow up we are shaped by our relationships; this starts from the time we are little and continues for the rest of our lives.
Through these relationships we are also shaped by society. In being shaped we create various meaning from our experiences as well as receiving and giving instructions on how to live. When we form new relationships of any kind, this gets challenged; coming together and finding a path forward that celebrates all involved is the key to success.
Sometimes this gets stalled through unspoken expectations and anticipated or unanticipated pressure related to shame. Lets explore this! I specialize in helping those struggling with addiction, pain, and psychological trauma. As a psychotherapist, I'm committed to providing a safe and compassionate environment for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. I understand how difficult life can be and strive to provide personalized care that best suits each person's individual needs.
My goal is to work together with my clients to gain insight and understanding into their unique situation so that they can ultimately find healing. If pornography is out of control in your life, or feels like an unhealthy habit, or addiction, I offer therapy specifically intended to help you understand your dependance upon porn, why it's so difficult to stop using, and how you can take your life back and experience freedom.
If pornography has become a problem in your relationship, I help couples understand the role pornography serves, how to build empathy and understanding between one another, and how to fill the needs pornography serves in a more fulfilling way.
