Addiction Counseling

Personalized, Action-oriented Recovery Support

If alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behaviors are creating problems in your life or relationships, you do not have to handle it alone.

I provide private, personalized counseling for adults, young adults, and families struggling with addiction, substance use, relapse, recovery, and the emotional toll that often comes with it.

Whether you are questioning your relationship with substances, trying to rebuild trust, entering recovery for the first time, or working to maintain long-term sobriety, therapy can help you move forward with clarity and support.

I Work With Clients in Many Stages of Recovery

Including:

  • Individuals beginning to question their substance use

  • Clients recently out of treatment or sober living

  • People early in recovery who need structure and support

  • Individuals working to prevent relapse

  • Long-term recovery maintenance

  • Family members affected by a loved one’s addiction

  • Young adults struggling with motivation, launching into adulthood, and substance use

If someone is actively using at a medically dangerous level, medical detox may be necessary before outpatient counseling is appropriate.

I Help with

  • Alcohol misuse

  • Drug use and dependency

  • Relapse prevention

  • Recovery support

  • High-functioning addiction

  • Anxiety and depression connected to substance use

  • Family conflict and codependency

  • Parenting a teen or young adult struggling with addiction

  • Failure to launch and substance use in young adults

  • Burnout, shame, and emotional overwhelm

  • Life transitions and identity struggles in recovery

My Approach

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and nonjudgmental.

I work collaboratively with clients to understand the deeper patterns underneath addictive behaviors while also building concrete tools for change. I draw on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients accept where they are, manage big emotions in the moment, and take real action toward their goals.

If clients have the need, I work alongside their existing support team members and can help them connect with other professionals including psychiatrists, 12 step groups, and treatment centers.

I believe recovery is not only about stopping destructive behaviors, but also about building a life that feels more connected, stable, meaningful, and honest.

I Work with

  • Adults

  • Professionals and executives

  • College students and young adults

  • Parents and families

  • Individuals navigating divorce or major life stress

  • Clients seeking faith-informed counseling from a Christian perspective, if desired

Sessions & Location

  • In-person counseling in Buckhead / Atlanta, Georgia

  • Virtual therapy available throughout Georgia

  • Mission Counseling Studio is a private-pay practice

You Don’t Have to Hit Rock Bottom

Many people seek counseling before addiction completely takes over their lives.

You may simply notice that:

  • your coping strategies are no longer working

  • relationships feel strained

  • anxiety or depression is increasing

  • you feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted

  • substances have become harder to control than you expected

Therapy can help you understand what is happening and begin making meaningful changes without shame or judgment.
