Addiction Counseling

Addiction can take many forms and can be experienced with both substances (drugs and alcohol, for example) and behaviors (such as gambling). Typically, addiction involves repeating an activity despite the problems or negative consequences it is causing in your life. Addiction can cause changes in the brain’s wiring that make it difficult to stop the drug or behavior. But the good news is, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. If you or someone you know is suffering from an addiction, contact one of our addiction counseling specialists today to get help.

I provide substance use counseling that is free from judgement. If you are questioning the role that substances are playing in your life, it may be time to speak to someone. I approach substance use counseling from a harm reduction approach. I will support you in increasing the quality of your life, while you make choices that are best for you.

I am eclectic when it comes to treating addiction. Each person is different, so I explore what is going on within a person. Together the client and I figure out the best way to resolve underlying issues. Trauma is a big factor in addiction. If the client and I can find out the behavior patterns that arose as a result of the trauma, we can begin questioning how it protected the client at some point in time.
