Personal Addiction Counseling

Substance use can begin for many different reasons—curiosity, stress, emotional pain, social situations, or as a way to cope with difficult experiences. Over time, what may have started as occasional use can become something that feels difficult to control, impacting your relationships, work, health, and overall well-being.

Signs that substance use may be becoming a concern include:

• Using alcohol or drugs more often or in larger amounts than intended
• Feeling strong urges or cravings to use
• Needing more of a substance to achieve the same effect
• Spending significant time obtaining, using, or recovering from substances
• Continuing to use despite negative effects on your relationships, work, or health
• Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when reducing or stopping use
• Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed

If any of these experiences resonate with you, know that change is possible, and you don't have to navigate it alone.

I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to substance use treatment, helping clients understand the underlying factors contributing to their use while building healthier coping strategies and lasting recovery. Using evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness, we'll work together to create a recovery plan that aligns with your goals and values.

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to recovery. Whether your goal is abstinence, harm reduction, or exploring your relationship with substances, therapy is tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll build the skills, confidence, and support needed to create meaningful, lasting change. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation.
