Sometimes it looks like a promotion, a clean house, a full calendar, and a private bargain you keep making with yourself. Only after the kids are asleep. Only on weekends. Only when work has been brutal. Then the rule changes, and some part of you knows it changed before you are ready to say it out loud. In Temecula, I often meet adults who have held a lot together while something underneath has been getting louder. Alcohol, substances, compulsive work, screens, food, exercise, rescuing, controlling the room — the behavior may differ, but the function is familiar. It gives relief. It creates distance. It quiets a feeling that has nowhere else to go. Until it starts making the feeling worse. What this looks like ## What this _looks like._ This work is for the person who is not sure they are allowed to name the problem because life still looks functional from the outside. The drink that used to feel optional now feels like the only off-switch. You are praised for overworking, but the pace is hollowing you out. You keep trying to prove you are in control by making smaller and smaller rules. Shame shows up after the behavior, and shame becomes the reason to do it again. You are not sure whether abstinence, harm reduction, or simply telling the truth is the next step. ## How I work I work without shame and without pretending every person needs the same path. Abstinence is welcome here. Harm reduction is welcome here. Ambivalence is welcome here. We look clearly at what the behavior is costing, and we look just as clearly at what it has been trying to help you survive. My background includes outpatient addiction work, a military-base outpatient clinic, and residential care serving first responders. I bring that experience into a quieter, relational room. When trauma is underneath the pattern, we work there too — through parts work, somatic awareness, skills, and EMDR when appropriate. I am trained in EMDR and use it as one part of an integrative approach. Honest geography Sessions are available in person at the Temecula, CA office or by secure telehealth across California. Katelin is licensed in California (#92638) and New Jersey (#44SC05665400). ## Common questions Do I have to be sober to start? No. Some clients begin while abstinent, some are trying to cut back, and some are still unsure what they want. We start with honesty about what is happening and what you want to be different. Is this 12-step based? No. If 12-step support helps you, we can respect and include that. If it does not fit, we do not force it. The work is not dependent on one recovery model. My use isn't 'bad enough' — should I still come? If you are asking the question, it is worth a conversation. You do not have to wait until something is visibly falling apart to get support.
