Are you looking for a response to life's ups and downs besides taking yet another drink or drug, despite all the consequences? Are you on your recovery journey and need a little extra support? We all can build a life worth living. This requires the ability to solve problems, take some chances, and do the things that don't always feel good to get where you want.

I work with substance use and addiction in families. Addiction is a chronic and progressive disease that affects individuals, families, organizations, and our communities. Addressing addiction to alcohol and drugs is a matter of life or death. The first step is becoming aware of the problem. Then, with commitment, anyone can get better.

Do you need a confidential space to get help? Through compassionate communication, building skills, and a strengths-based approach, I help clients find the motivation and path to becoming agents in their own lives. Call or email to talk or to schedule an assessment.
