I understand how challenging addiction can be, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
When thinking about struggles with addiction, it may be easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges. Taking that first step toward recovery can feel daunting - resistance or fear can be strong. There may be a desire to feel empowered and confident in creating a healthier, more fulfilling life, but the path forward may seem unclear. Recognizing the strength within is key, yet guidance from someone outside of oneself can be essential to break free. I enjoy support clients in reaching their goals to heal, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim their lives.

Are you tired of being tired? Dealing with addiction, depression and mood disorders are stressful and affect other areas of our lives, creating a sense of hopelessness. Therapy is geared towards helping you discover your strengths and finding a new perspective of the world you live in. Having worked with people in recovery, I have witnessed many relapses but also recovery. The main contributing factor to recovery has been the individual's belief that they can get better. My aim is to reinforce this belief and to provide you with tools to achieve a better quality of life.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
