About

Hi, I'm glad you're here. You probably have some behaviors and thoughts that are getting in your way. Instead of viewing these unwanted behaviors (substance use, anxiety, infidelity, social isolation, avoidance, anger) as character flaws, we will get to know them as protective strategies your mind has developed. These aren't disorders; they're survival skills. Together, we'll reduce shame and blame around your behaviors or "parts" that are causing you to feel stuck. When these parts feel accepted, heard, and embraced by you, they begin to trust you, and are willing to adopt new roles.
