Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city and a former textile mill hub on the Merrimack River that has been significantly shaped by one of the most severe opioid crises of any city in the northeast—Manchester has repeatedly ranked among the US cities hardest hit by fentanyl and opioid overdoses, and substance use treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support are central to the local mental health landscape. The city has a significant immigrant and refugee population, including large communities from Africa and Central America, creating demand for multilingual and culturally competent mental health services. Catholic Medical Center and Elliot Health System provide behavioral health services, and Southern New Hampshire University has its main campus in the city. Common therapy concerns include substance use and recovery, opioid-related grief and family trauma, immigration and refugee stress, and the economic and community pressures of a post-industrial city navigating a sustained public health crisis.
