Loved Ones Support (CRAFT-Informed)
Supporting someone you care about who is struggling with alcohol or substance use can feel overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. You may want to help but feel unsure how to set boundaries or communicate without conflict, pressure, or fear of enabling.
CRAFT-informed support offers practical tools and compassionate guidance to help you navigate these dynamics in a way that protects your wellbeing and strengthens your relationship. Together, we’ll explore healthier communication strategies, emotional regulation tools, and flexible approaches that reduce harm while honoring your values, limits, and emotional needs.
You deserve support, too—and you don’t have to figure this out alone.
"I feel at ease in Maddie's presence. She has unique tools that may offer an important alternative for those with a problematic relationship to substances. Her expertise is hard to find!"—Matianna Baldassari, LMFT
What to Expect.
In our work together, you’ll have a nonjudgmental space to talk openly about what you’re experiencing as you support your loved one. We’ll explore the patterns that show up in your relationship, clarify what is and isn’t within your control, and build skills that help you communicate more effectively, reduce conflict, and care for yourself in the process.
My approach integrates CRAFT principles, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and nervous-system awareness. We’ll focus on strengthening connection while honoring your boundaries and emotional needs.
Above all, you’ll receive support that centers your wellbeing—not just the wellbeing of the person you love.
