We will create a personalized alcohol use or drug abuse recovery plan of skills that work for you and reduces or eliminates the problem.
I specialize in helping people from Florida or South Carolina who are struggling with feeling overwhelmed by their drinking find peace in their life. Family & friends don't understand why you can't just stop drinking but I do. Working together we can quickly turn this problem around and it doesn’t always mean going to 12 step meetings. Clients who work with me show quick positive results. No hangovers, feeling sick or ashamed of the night before. Can you imagine waking up & feeling happy to start the day? That can totally be you.

As human beings we all face various challenges in life. Sometimes we feel stuck, unmotivated, or maybe anxious in various situations. Not knowing how to navigate trials and tribulations in different chapters of our life can be daunting. That’s where I come in. My approach with the individuals I see is to create a non-judgmental, therapeutic environment where each person feels appreciated and understood. Vulnerability at its core can be intimidating for some, which is why I value creating a safe space to share your thoughts, allowing me to develop a deeper understanding of who you are.

Alcohol Use Therapists

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

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 alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
