Change is possible. You CAN feel better.
Kinship and Support from Pregnancy to Parenthood
Compassionate, Research-backed Therapy for Substance Abuse
You deserve the best support science and genuine connection can offer.
You may be skeptical that there is help for what you’re struggling with. You may be blaming and judging yourself, frustrated by many attempts to make things better. A part of you may want to avoid looking head-on at what is happening for fear it could make things worse.
These fears are normal. With kindness, curiosity, and a helpful framework, we can address these concerns while also allowing you to get the help you need. Together, we’ll focus on skills and strategies to help you manage what you’re experiencing and step into your next chapter.
I specialize in drug and alcohol abuse, with 10+ years providing individual and group therapy for people trying to reduce, moderate or stop their substance use.
I also specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), helping new parents transition from pregnancy to parenthood with compassion, validation and expertise.

“My first session with Jocelyn was in August 2020, in the height of the pandemic, where I found myself in a state of panic, alcoholism, etc. We continued to meet during that year, and the progress I made was monumental. With her guidance, help and understanding, I am a happy, sober and well-prepared individual who is ready to face life’s challenges. We are continuing treatment, as I am happy to say!”
