You Don’t Have To Walk Through Family Addiction Alone
Seeing a loved one battle addiction is heartbreaking. You feel helpless, watching them struggle with substance abuse. But here’s the key: it’s important to not self-destruct right along with them. As much as you want to free them from the grip of drugs or alcohol, you can’t control if they are willing to take those first steps toward addiction recovery. However, you can point them in the right direction while maintaining healthy boundaries and caring for your own emotional and physical wellbeing during addiction.
If it feels like a tightrope, don’t give up in despair.
We’re here to help.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and an MBA. As a former adjunct faculty member at Pepperdine University in the Graduate School of Psychology, I have years of experience in therapy, both individual and family.
My own experiences with family addiction and mental health have taught me to set boundaries with loved ones from a place of clarity versus fear. Today, after being in the trenches with family addiction and having experienced the unfortunate loss of loved ones, I am passionate about helping others through their challenging times, helping them gain insight and clarity to take the next steps.
