Understanding Addiction and Compulsive Behaviors

If you’re struggling with addiction or compulsive behaviors—whether it’s substance use, gambling, shopping, porn use, sex addiction, food, or other behaviors—I’m here to help you explore these challenges in a nonjudgmental and compassionatespace.

These behaviors often serve as coping mechanisms for deeper pain or unmet needs. Together, we will start to understand how these patterns developed and identify more beneficial ways to meet those needs, helping you build resilience and navigate life’s challenges.

A Trauma-Informed, Compassionate Approach

I take a trauma-informed approach, recognizing that addiction and compulsive behaviors are often responses to past trauma or difficult life experiences. Instead of an abstinence-only model, I embrace harm reduction principles. This means we focus on reducing the negative impacts of these behaviors in a way that feels safe and manageable for you.

Our work will be guided by your personal goals, whether that involves reducing use, finding healthier coping mechanisms, or moving toward sobriety at a pace that aligns with your comfort and readiness.

Your Journey Toward Healing

As I continue my journey toward becoming a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), I bring a deep commitment to supporting you on your unique path to healing. We’ll work collaboratively to create a plan that fits your needs and honors your values, empowering you to take steps toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Supporting Loved Ones of Those Struggling with Addiction

If you have a friend, family member, or loved one facing addiction or compulsive behaviors, it can be incredibly challenging to know how best to support them while also taking care of yourself. I’m here to help you navigate these complexities with compassion and understanding.

In our work together, we’ll explore ways to foster healthy communication, set boundaries, and develop coping strategies that honor both your needs and those of your loved one. Whether you’re seeking guidance on how to be a supportive presence or looking to process your own emotions around their addiction, I provide a space where you can find clarity, support, and the tools to move forward with resilience and hope.
