Families of Addiction

Their addiction affected you too. Your healing matters.

I work with adolescents and adults impacted by a loved one's addiction. This is your space for boundaries, understanding, and the validation you may never have received.

My approach

A place to put yourself first.

When someone you love struggles with addiction, so much of your energy goes to them. In our work, the focus is you. I offer support as you learn to set internal and external boundaries, psychoeducation about how addiction works, and steady validation for the impact it has had on you.

Having grown up in a family affected by addiction myself, I understand the fear, shame, guilt, and confusion that come with it. I hold deep respect for the courage it takes to tend to your own healing.

What we focus on

Support that meets you where you are

Boundaries

Setting internal and external boundaries that protect your wellbeing, and learning to hold them with love.

Psychoeducation

Understanding addiction and its dynamics, so you can make sense of patterns that were never your fault.

Validation

Naming and honoring the real impact this has had on you, because what you went through counts.

From experience

“I understand the fear, shame, and guilt that come with loving someone in addiction, and the quiet relief of finally having a space that's just for you.”
