Addiction is a pervasive issue that impacts not just the individual grappling with it but their loved ones as well—especially their partners.

 I’ve spent years helping couples navigate the treacherous waters of addiction.

Dealing with an addicted partner can feel overwhelming and lonely, but you don’t have to face it alone.
