Begin Your Healing

When did it stop being a choice and start feeling like survival?

You woke up tired — again.

Not just physically, but soul-tired.

Tired of hiding, of lying, of promising tomorrow will be different.

The nights blur.

The mornings ache.

And the only thing that numbs the shame… is the thing causing it.

It’s not just the drinking.

Or the pills. Or whatever it is.

It’s the way your world has gotten smaller.

People you love feel far away.

Mornings are heavy. Nights stretch too long.

You cancel plans.

You lie—mostly to yourself.

You keep thinking, this isn’t who I am,

But the days keep slipping by like you’re stuck in someone else’s life.

Your history of coping through addiction, control, or overachievement is old.

And you want out.

You just don’t know how to want it loud enough yet.

This isn't about hitting your bottom.
It's about finding your beginning.

What to Expect in Substance Abuse Recovery Therapy

The foundation of this work is simple: curiosity and compassion.
Not force. Not fixing. Not shame.

Here, we slow everything down.
We listen for what’s underneath—what’s been buried, what’s been shouting, what’s just plain tired.

This is about returning to yourself, piece by piece, in your own time.
No pressure. No performance. You set the pace. Your body will tell us when it’s ready.

We’ll use tools like CBT (to challenge the noise in your head), EMDR (to move stuck pain), and Psychedelic Integration Therapy (to help you make meaning from big, complicated inner work).
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is pushed.

Just a gentler way back to you.

A Safe, Judgment-Free Space: Here, you are allowed to show up as you are.

Before anything can heal, you need a place that feels safe just to be. It starts with a room that doesn’t ask you to clean yourself up first. You don’t have to explain everything. Or anything. You just get to show up. Whether you're thinking about quitting, cutting back, or just figuring out why it got this far—you're not judged for where you are. You're honored for walking in.

Collaborative and Compassionate: We’ll figure this out together, no pressure to perform.

You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to start where you are. There’s no script for this. No “right” goal you have to pick before you’re allowed to begin. Maybe you want to quit. Maybe you just want to stop spiraling. Maybe you’re not even sure what you want—only that something has to give. We’ll start there. This is therapy that moves at your speed. That listens before it answers. That uses harm reduction if that’s what fits—because real change doesn’t come from being pushed, it comes from being met. Together we’ll look underneath the surface—at the grief, the fear, the patterns that protected you once and now won’t let go. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding you. And walking with you toward something better.

Rebuilding Trust and Resilience: Something quiet and strong is coming back online in you.

Healing starts when you believe you’re someone worth trusting again. At some point, you stopped trusting yourself. Stopped trusting other people. Stopped trusting that anything could actually change. Therapy is where we start picking that trust back up, piece by piece. We might use CBT to help untangle the noise in your head. EMDR to move through the memories your body hasn’t let go of. Psychedelic integration to make sense of the big, beautiful, confusing insights you’ve gathered along the way. It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about coming home to who you were before the survival kicked in.

Flexible, Ongoing Support: Progress isn’t perfect, but you’re not walking it alone.

This isn’t a straight line—and it doesn’t have to be. Some weeks we’ll work on tools. Other weeks we’ll just sit in the wreckage and breathe. You don’t have to be getting better every second to be healing. Therapy bends with you. Moves when you move. Waits when you can’t. We’re not chasing perfection—we’re building something real. Together.

You don’t have to keep punishing yourself for how you survived.

I can help you learn to live without the guilt.

FAQ: Substance Recovery Therapy

Q. Do I have to be sober to start therapy?

No. You don’t have to be sober, ready to quit, or have everything figured out to begin. Whether you’re exploring harm reduction, considering abstinence, or still in the mess of it all—you’re welcome here. We’ll meet you exactly where you are.

Q. What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

That’s okay. Maybe it wasn’t the right time, or the right fit. This space is different—it’s slower, more collaborative, and grounded in trust. You won’t be pushed or judged. We’ll move at the pace your body and story are ready for.

Q. What kinds of therapy do you use?

I use trauma-informed approaches like EMDR (to process stuck pain), CBT (to shift unhelpful thought patterns), and Psychedelic Integration Therapy (to help you make sense of deep, often confusing internal experiences). Everything is tailored to you—your goals, your nervous system, your life.

Q. Can I do therapy online?

Yes. I offer secure online therapy for clients anywhere in Nevada and New Jersey, and in-person sessions in Las Vegas. You can show up from your couch, your car, or wherever you feel safest.

Q. What if I’m not sure this is addiction?

That’s okay, too. You don’t need a label to deserve support. If you’re using something to cope—and it’s starting to hurt more than it helps—that’s enough reason to reach out. We’ll figure it out together.

Q. How do I get started?

Start with a free, no-pressure 20-minute consult. It’s just a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if this feels like a space where you can exhale. No forms. No commitment. Just one honest step.
