Have you been wondering whether there’s a gentler way to care for yourself through stress or pain?
Addiction Counseling supports college students and adults who are struggling with alcohol use, substance abuse, or unhealthy coping patterns. Substance use often begins as a way to manage stress, anxiety, or emotional pain, but over time it can start to create more problems than it solves. Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore these challenges and create healthier ways to cope.
In addiction counseling, we focus on understanding substance use patterns, identifying triggers, managing cravings, and building coping strategies that support long-term change. Therapy may also include relapse prevention, stress management, emotional regulation, and rebuilding routines that support recovery and balance.
I have experience working with clients at all stages of recovery, including those questioning their substance use, practicing harm reduction, transitioning from higher levels of care, or working toward long-term sobriety. Addiction counseling also supports co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, and high stress using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy.
