Addiction Therapy and Recovery Counseling

I offer addiction therapy and recovery-focused psychotherapy for adults navigating substance use, compulsive behaviors, and the deeper emotional patterns that often accompany them. Over the past two decades, I have worked extensively with a wide range of addictions, including alcohol, drugs, sex and love addiction, workaholism, and codependency. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning, yet find themselves repeating patterns that no longer align with how they want to live.

I support individuals at every stage of recovery — whether you are sober curious, struggling to maintain sobriety, or more established in your recovery process. Addiction and recovery therapy offers a space to explore not only behaviors, but also the underlying emotional experiences, relational dynamics, and nervous system patterns connected to them.

Together, we focus on creating deeper and more lasting change by exploring the underlying emotional and relational patterns connected to addiction. Therapy offers a consistent and compassionate space for greater self-awareness, accountability, healing, and growth.

I also work with adult children of alcoholics and individuals who come from dysfunctional family systems. Addiction within a family often extends beyond one person’s substance use, shaping patterns of communication, attachment, boundaries, and emotional regulation across generations. Because these dynamics are familiar, they can easily become normalized and carried into adulthood and relationships.

Adult children of alcoholics often develop adaptive patterns in response to growing up in unpredictable or emotionally inconsistent environments. These patterns may include people-pleasing, perfectionism, difficulty trusting others, challenges with boundaries, or prioritizing others’ needs over their own. Healing is not about blaming the past, but about understanding its impact and creating healthier ways of relating to yourself and others in the present.

Through this work, clients begin to recognize these patterns and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. This process often includes building internal resources, strengthening self-awareness, reconnecting with intuition and self-trust, and cultivating a greater sense of stability and emotional freedom.
