Substance abuse and addiction affect not only the addict, but also the addict's partner and the couple as unit. When addicts enter recovery, relationship dynamics also inevitably change, which often activates new issues that the couple must address together. This group allows partners to share these relational shifts with other couples encountering similar concerns, while I provide support and guidance to help everyone navigate these sometimes rocky waters.

Using integrative harm reduction psychotherapy, this group is for people either looking for ways to manage their substance use or trying to decide if abstinence is the right choice for them. Whether or not participants have attempted sobriety previously, most participate in the group because they're looking for ways to better manage and more deeply understand their substance use. They want to improve their lives and feel better.
