In working with addiction, I take a non-pathologizing approach, viewing it as a response rather than a personal flaw or failing. Together, we explore how addiction may have become a part of your story, examining the needs and experiences it has been trying to address. Using a collaborative, narrative approach, we work to identify values, strengths, and alternative ways to meet those needs that align with who you prefer to be. This process allows you to reclaim your sense of agency and reconnect with a life that reflects your deeper intentions and goals.

Addiction is something that helps us feel better. Here's where it comes from. As kids, we're supposed to bond in a healthy way with our parents. It's through this bond with our parents that we learn how to regulate ourselves. When we don't bond in a healthy way, or don't learn how to self-regulate through our connection with our parents, we need to do it some other way. That's where addiction comes from. If we can learn to create the feelings that our addiction gives us on our own - joy, bliss, relaxation, connection, etc., and combine that with nutritional support that gives our brain the right chemicals, we can move forward. I'm here to support you in getting to the root and doing that.

Many people have tried and failed to overcome their addiction on their own. Are you feeling powerless to an addiction that is controlling your life? Recovering from an addiction is one of the most difficult things you will ever do and you should not try to do it alone. Addiction counseling will offer you the structure and support you will need to finally quit for good. Call today to get started on the road to recovery with addiction counseling.

I have been sober for 13 years and believe the struggles I have had with addiction allows me to be very effective this work. I have worked with hundreds of addicts and really enjoy this work. Overcoming addiction is much more than learning coping skills. Coping skills are definitely a part of it, but the biggest part is learning/growing so that you can enjoy life without whatever it is you are addicted to. The only way I believe we can stay sober long term, is too feel so good that we don't need something to make us feel better. It's the happiness we obtain in sobriety that will keep us sober not the remembrance of the suffering of the worst days of your addiction.
