Alcohol Use Therapists in 05468

I have experience working with a diverse population of people within varied settings. My background in the areas of mental health, domestic and sexual violence, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders allows me to be confident in providing the best treatment approaches for the individual. My therapeutic approach is client centered on why a person is entering therapy and what they need and want to achieve. I believe in working with the whole person integrating a holistic approach into therapy.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a difficult task. A true "Master" of the healing arts is one who has spent years learning, practicing, and refining their skills as a healer. Individuals, couples and families first entering into the therapeutic relationship often feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious and vulnerable. They need to feel safe by knowing that they are truly being heard and respected. They also need to trust that their therapist has sufficient experience to patiently guide them thru the process of self discovery on their path to wellness and feeling whole, perhaps for the first time in their life.

Making the decision to seek support for life challenges, takes a lot of courage and I am dedicated to helping those who are wanting to explore something different. I have worked in the addiction and mental health field for the past 20 years with all different age groups and am thankful for having the privilege of sitting with others and witnessing their stories. I have a strong focus around grief and loss and exploring how grief impacts our life decisions and changes our relationships with others and ourselves.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and a Clinical Certified Hypnotherapist.

I am retiring as of December 29, 2023. I'll continue to volunteer as a facilitator with SMART Recovery. For more information about SMART Recovery go to www.smartrecovery.org.
