Hi, I’m Chloé. I come to this work from a desire to provide quality, attuned care for individuals who are often the last to seek support. This is of no fault of the individual, but is perpetuated by our current behavioral health systems that focus solely on the individual with addiction and leave their support systems with few resources for their own healing. I believe that family members, partners, and friends have great influence on their loved one’s recovery when addressed compassionately without ultimatums or surprise interventions. Addiction and it’s effects on the entire family system, is treated best when we bring it out of isolation.

I come to this work after several years in the substance use disorder treatment field, where I worked in varied settings, including cooccurring outpatient, harm-reduction services, and Opioid Treatment Programs, while supporting both adults and youth. I noticed a distinct gap in services for their support systems and decided to pursue training in this area. CRAFT is the foundation of my work, but I also have a strong knowledge of other recovery supports like Al-Anon and SMART Families & Friends. There is no singular way to seek healing. I encourage exploration in peer-support groups if that feels helpful.
