My philosophy
My philosophy
If alcohol has become a problem for you, whatever your drinking level, I believe that your habit or compulsion is only the external symptom of a more deep-seated issue, or issues, it is a solution to a problem that was already there.

When I stopped drinking, I realised that quitting drinking was only the tip of the iceberg because once the “crutch” was gone, all the underlying issues came floating back to the surface. I believe that unless we deal with those, we can’t consider ourselves to be “free”.
When the lid of alcohol is gone, you are left with everything that was bubbling below the surface, and it’s coming up in different ways, in different directions and different areas of your life.
It’s now time to address your emotional recovery, to attend to those parts of yourself that need attention and that were buried by the alcohol.
I am invested in providing trauma-informed care and creating a safe and welcoming space for anyone in the LGBTQA+ and gender-expansive community.
