I enjoy the challenge of working with addictive diorders and helping individuals, couples and families find recovery and peace of mind.
REFINE COUNSELING provides professional, licensed counseling for couples, marriages, for those struggling with alcohol, drug, and prescription addictions, as well as abuse, trauma, PTSD, enabling and /or codependency issues. For those whose employment or finances does not allow inpatient treatment, we offer a personalized individual, &/or family recovery program through our Refinery Intensives. While several of our counselors are Christian, we welcome all faiths as well as those who do not claim a faith. We are all in this life together, therefore, it is our desire to work with all races, religions, and lifestyles.

Being a person of long term recovery myself, I am uniquely qualified to help individuals and families struggling with addiction issues seeking long-term solutions. Since much of addiction is rooted in trauma, we explore the hurts that caused dysfunction in coping skills along with the effects of addiction on spouses, the family unit and friends.
Substance abuse, anxiety, depression and early recovery are the focus of the weekly women's recovery group.

Life is one continuous flow of change, change, change. Some of us adapt to it better than others. Being out of one's comfort zone is a sure sign that we are growing or about to grow! I love working with people who are brave enough to face the challenges that change brings whether it is change in age, relationship, job...addictive behaviors...belief...life focus...self esteem. I see myself as a partner of my cients. My job is to make the transitions smooth and valuable. Thanks for the opportunity to accompany you on your journey!

Substance Use Support Groups
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
