Family Addiction Recovery Therapist in Venice

Heal the Whole System. Set Boundaries with Love. Recover Together.

Addiction doesn’t just affect one person—it ripples through the entire family system. Whether your loved one is in active addiction, early recovery, or somewhere in between, the emotional toll on family members is real. Confusion, resentment, fear, enabling, and broken trust can create a painful cycle that’s hard to escape.

As a therapist who specializes in family addiction recovery, I help families understand addiction as a disease and a relational dynamic. I provide support, education, and tools to help each member heal—whether or not your loved one is ready for change.

In our therapy sessions, we will explore:

    •    Understanding the nature of addiction and the impact on family roles

    •    Breaking the cycle of codependency, enabling, and emotional chaos

    •    Rebuilding trust, communication, and a healthy connection

    •    Setting boundaries that are firm, loving, and sustainable

    •    Processing grief, anger, and betrayal

    •    Navigating relapse, recovery milestones, and family triggers

    •    Supporting children affected by a parent’s or relative’s addiction

    •    Empowering your healing regardless of your loved one’s choices

You didn’t cause it. You can’t control it. But you can heal from it.  Let’s help your family move from surviving addiction to recovering together—with clarity, compassion, and hope.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
