Why Collective Wellness?
If you look up the word "collective" in the dictionary, you will find several definitions.
1. Done by people acting as a group
I believe that the therapeutic process is most successful when the client and the therapist are working as a team to create new insights and long-term change. I understand the importance of coordinating your care through interdisciplinary collaboration- acting as a cohesive group to achieve wellness.
2. Belonging or relating to all members of a group.
Life's challenges, mental illness, and family issues are common experiences, and you are not alone. Through this process we will normalize your struggles and increases sources of support.
3. Taken as a whole
Overall wellness must consider the person as a whole. Through this experience we will take into account your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health to work towards your overall wellness.

Addiction and Anxiety Counseling
Life has become overwhelming...
And you're beginning to recognize that something must change. Excessive worry, fear, and anxiety are taking over and it's starting to take a its toll. These symptoms become so uncomfortable that you begin to look for relief. You discover that alcohol and other substances relieve your distress, and self-medication becomes the norm.
Addiction and Anxiety are taking over...
You may be able to pinpoint the source of your stress and anxiety. Or, it may feel like a general sense of unease and distress. Naturally, you look for ways to escape or numb these negative feelings, at least for a short time. Anxiety and Addiction issues are commonly found together for this reason. You quickly learn that alcohol or other substances efficiently gives you the relief you desperately need and, coping in this way becomes your go-to skill for dealing with uncomfortable emotions. There is, however, a problem with this solution. Alcohol use as a coping mechanism is not sustainable. Your level of use increases over time to accommodate the ever rising levels of anxiety. You are now dependent on the use of alcohol to get through the day, which leads to vast consequences in multiple areas of your life.
