Counseling for Loved Ones

 Do you spend a lot of time thinking and worrying about someone you love who is abusing alcohol or drugs?  Do you find yourself doing things that are not helpful?

If you answered yes, you can benefit from your own counseling, whether or not your loved one seeks help. Family members, friends and loved ones lives have been negatively impacted by the behaviors and attitudes of the substance abuser in their life.  Therefore, counseling for you is also very important.  As a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I understand the challenges of loving someone who has substance use issues and being scared and frustrated by their choices. 

     In weekly individual counseling sessions or in a group setting, together we will explore how you can best live your life within your relationship.  I will help you identify your behaviors that have not been helpful.  The focus in this process is on you! You will learn how to take care of yourself and practice self-care and self-compassion.  Begin to appreciate that you have wants and needs and that they matter!  Problems in your life occur when you have set aside your own needs and wants and focus on other people. Let's explore healthy ways to set boundaries that clearly state what you want and need.  You want to help them but don't know how to help and not contribute to the problem.  If that describes you, please contact me.
