Addiction casts a long shadow, affecting not just the individual but their loved ones, turning daily life into a cycle of dependency and despair. The grip of addiction tightens, isolating you from the life you once knew and the people you love. My addiction treatment services offer a beacon of hope, guiding you towards recovery with compassion, understanding, and a tailored path to reclaim your independence and well-being.
If we work on issues regarding substance use, I use a harm reduction model that sees engagement with substance on a continuum from healthy and acceptable use to chronic abuse. While 12-step models are helpful for a lot of people, in my experience many people need a different approach. I will not lecture you or expect abstinence to be the only goal. Instead we will look at what a personalized treatment plan and set of goals (including moderation management) look like for you.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Substance use and addictions of any kind are isolating and separate you from the life you want. I believe strongly that everyone has the ability to recover from addiction. I assist my clients in learning the necessary skills they need to thrive instead of simply survive.
Our understanding of addiction and substance abuse is ever-evolving. It's important to gain a complete understanding of the role that substances or technology plays in the person's life to effectively manage how the person is able to find balance and healing.
