People can benefit from taking the time to reflect and think about their lives in the presence of a neutral therapist. When people encounter a crisis or a difficult situation, it provides an opportunity for the development of self. Change is possible. Therapy provides an avenue to identify and interrupt old ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that are keeping one stuck. It provides an opportunity to "think/reflect" on one's life vs. automatically responding to life's stresses. In this process, a person is often able to see things in a new light and identify new options for dealing with old problems.

One of the purposes in life is to be happy and live a good life. However, daily living involves struggles and there are some difficulties and aspects of life that are inherently painful and hard to cope with. Psychotherapy is a useful way for many people to address and work on personal problems and, in so doing, create a better quality of living for themselves. I have great respect for clients who have the courage to face problems and I welcome you to call me to schedule an appointment.

As a Clinical Therapist and Addiction Counselor, the modalities that I utilize include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focus Brief Therapy (SFBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), 12 Step Recovery Model, Relapse Prevention Strategies, and Motivational Interviewing.
During the journey of life, we will experience many “hills and valleys,” joys and sorrows, hurts and healings. At times, it can be emotionally difficult to navigate through some of life's most challenging journeys. During these moments, you can be left feeling alone, hopeless, anxious and wondering "what do I do next, how do I overcome this, does anyone care?” When experiencing these types of thoughts and emotions, it can be beneficial to find a comforting and competent therapist to help you acquire and develop the cognitive and behavioral coping skills that promote hope, healing and positivity that allow for a harmonious life.

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.
