Addiction & Recovery

An area of expertise is working with people needing support with addiction. The definition of addiction is expansive, encompassing compulsive behaviors, brain circuits, genetics, and physiology. Addictive habits may include substances yet it can also be food, sex, gambling, shopping, social media, pornography, etc. Generally, these addictive behaviors are used to cope with life’s stress, seek pleasure, and/or search for connections.

I offer a warm, supportive, non-judgmental approach to recovery. To me, recovery’s definition is unique to each individual. There is not one path to recovery and the road is bumpy with u-turns and detours.
