Addiction Counseling

I offer a non-judgmental, harm-reduction approach to addiction counseling that honors your goals and beliefs. I have worked in treatment centers, helping people improve their addiction. There are many approaches to addiction and recovery, and I use a collaborative process to find the best fit for you.

I am myself in recovery from alcohol dependence and have been an addictions therapist for many years. My approach to addictions is eclectic but the centerpiece is trauma informed cognitive-behavior therapy. I am experienced with 12-step as well as other methods of recovery such as SMART Recovery.

If traditional abstinence-only addiction treatment, which can encourage shame or may utilize coercive behavior-management techniques, has felt unhelpful, or even harmful, working with addiction in a harm-reduction setting may be for you. My approach to addiction is grounded in harm-reduction. My goal is to support you in establishing healthy boundaries for your own personal safety and the safety of those around you, while you work towards unburdening addictive patterns of behavior.
