Having a substance using loved one can be a nightmare and navigating the landscape of the one-size-fits-all treatment industry can be challenging. I embrace person-and family-and centric care by acknowledging that substance use is a complex interaction of psychological, biological and social variables that are unique to each person. Harm reduction is an innovative paradigm-shifting approach that is person-centric rather than the substance-centric approach that traditional addiction treatment takes.
It starts where each person and family is, offering personalized solutions to substance use issues. I offer consultations about medical cannabis to explore whether it is right for you and your family. By providing reality-based information, I can help you navigate the confusing array of information and choices available, empowering you in making an informed decision about medical cannabis.
I have made a decision to become a 100% telehealth practice. This means that all of my consultations and sessions are done virtually, using private, confidential video platforms like Zoom, Facetime, or Skype; or by phone.
