I want to help you take back control of your substance use to live the life you deserve.
Your relationship with alcohol is tenuous at best. You’re not sure if you want to be sober forever (because that sounds kind of scary), but something has to change. Alcohol is getting in the way of the life you have worked hard to build, and it’s only a matter of time until something bad happens. You want to understand why you drink and take back control of your life, but finding the right type of treatment has been tough. You don't want to sit in a group of random people for hours, or be shamed for leaning on alcohol as the only coping skill you have intact. There is another way. You don’t have to ‘white knuckle’ it forever.

My specialty is using tools such as EMDR to support people struggling with relational issues, addiction and/or a trauma history to improve the quality of their life and relationships.
I am client centered in my approach. I work with individuals, late adolescents, and families. The foundation of our work will be that of mutual respect and clear expectations. I view the counseling relationship as a collaborative process and believe the role of a therapist can be likened to that of a "coach," one who challenges old ineffective behaviors and beliefs. I provide a confidential and supportive environment for you to share your concerns, and goals. Through dialogue and deep listening, new choices and next steps will be brought to light.

Particular areas of expertise include men’s therapy, trauma/PTSD, addiction/recovery, somatic/body healing, anxiety/depression, career counseling, and more.
Counseling with me is not just “talking about problems” but looking at all of you and identifying how to help you feel more alive. I called my practice OpenHand Counseling as I believe almost anything worthwhile in life requires us to trust, collaborate, and extend ourselves. It's hard to hold a tool, cook a meal, garden, write, play a sport, give affection to another or a pet, or do almost anything without opening my fingers to meet the world. Whether you are processing past events, working towards achieving goals and plans for your life, or just need additional support, let’s work together to get you where you want to go.

Addiction Therapists
What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
