How Counseling Helps

Addiction counseling helps you uncover patterns, build healthier routines, and create meaningful goals. Together, we’ll find strategies that work for your life, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Counseling gives you the space to slow down, reflect, and gain perspective on what’s been holding you back. You’ll learn practical tools to manage cravings, handle stress, and rebuild relationships that may have been strained by substance use. Most importantly, you’ll have consistent support and accountability as you take steps forward. Recovery is not about fitting into a mold, it’s about discovering what works best for you and building a life you don’t feel the need to escape from.

My Approach

Therapy with me isn’t about clinical jargon, it’s a real conversation. I draw from evidence-based practices while keeping things practical and relatable. Our work together is focused on what actually helps you in daily life, not abstract theories or complicated language. I believe healing happens when you feel comfortable enough to be honest, supported enough to take risks, and equipped with tools you can use outside of session. Whether we’re talking through challenges, building coping skills, or exploring new perspectives, my goal is to make therapy feel less like a lecture and more like sitting down with someone who genuinely understands and cares about your journey.

Need More Than Standard Weekly Counseling?

For some people, weekly counseling is enough. For others, it simply isn’t. If you find yourself making progress in sessions but struggling to maintain momentum between appointments, you’re not alone. Many adults reach a point where once-a-week therapy does not provide enough structure, accountability, or support to interrupt ongoing patterns related to substance use, relapse risk, or emotional dysregulation.

You may need more than standard weekly counseling if:

You feel stable during sessions but overwhelmed the rest of the week
Cravings or urges resurface quickly after appointments
You’ve had repeated relapse or near-relapse cycles
Motivation fades without consistent accountability
Emotional regulation feels manageable briefly, then collapses
You know what to do but struggle to follow through consistently

Needing more support does not mean you’ve failed therapy. It usually means your nervous system, habits, or environment require more repetition, structure, and connection than weekly sessions can provide. For individuals who need additional support but do not require inpatient or residential treatment, a Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP) may be an appropriate next step. SOAP provides multiple therapist-led group sessions each week, predictable structure, and accountability while allowing you to remain connected to work, family, and daily life.

If you’re unsure whether weekly counseling is sufficient or if a higher level of structure would be helpful, this can be discussed together during an initial consultation.
