“The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain.”
― Gabor Maté.
As with other mental health challenges, addiction lies on a spectrum and you don’t have to wait until your life is completely destroyed before getting help. If you are doing something that doesn’t serve you and you need help and support to make positive changes, you are in the right place.
Cravings, dependency, disordered use & addiction.
No matter where you are on the spectrum of use, it is never too late to make changes. Nor is it too early to get support. Krissy has a passion for helping those who struggle with addiction. With family addiction issues and various personal struggles, she brings not only academic knowledge and skills to each session, but also a level of empathy and understanding that helps cultivate and maintain a judgement free zone, which is vital to recovery and healing of any kind. She uses DBT, motivational interviewing and other recovery practices to aid you on your journey to freedom.
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
Albert Einstein
Krissy uses research-based best practices to help you find freedom from addiction. They bring a compassionate and understanding lens to each session while being firm and direct when needed. Each person is different in their specific needs, yet one thing applies to us all…life is so much more enjoyable and manageable without the burden of addiction.
No matter where you are on the addiction spectrum and no matter what your goals are, Krissy is here to help you get there. If you are unsure of whether you even want to stop using, Krissy can help you explore the pro’s and con’s of your use or behavior. If reducing your use or behavior is your goal, they can help with that. If total abstinence is preferable, then that is what you shall attain.
You are not your addiction & it does not define you!
Krissy is here to help you see this and live a life free from the chains of addiction.
It is possible!!
