Couples Addiction and Recovery Counseling

Regular “recreational” or social drinking and/or substance use can easily become as issue that affects intimate relationships negatively. I like to say that the substance is sometimes like a dark cloud, or even a third party, that has taken the joy and ease out of a relationship. Arguments about drinking and drug use can easily get out of control and escalate, especially when one or both parties are under the influence.

If you feel that your relationship has been affected by substance abuse, I can help. I have had extensive training and experience in helping couples navigate the destructive effects of substance abuse. As a therapist trained in addiction counseling, I will address symptoms of addiction and the related areas of impaired functioning that can undermine intimacy and closeness.

For couples in recovery from addiction, I have also had training and experience in helping navigate this important life choice and transition to sobriety.
