I work primarily with couples and adult individuals. My experience has led me to individuals who struggle with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger-related issues. I also work with people who suffer from addiction and problems related to their substance use. Apart from working with individuals one-on-one, my time spent working with couples in relationship/marriage counseling has focused on communication, conflict, infidelity, parenting, and intimacy.

You keep searching the internet hoping to find something that will help you find normalcy again. Everything feels like a struggle anymore and you can't recall the last time you were actually happy or even content. You find yourself with an open bottle of wine almost every night or hiding in a closet to catch your breath from your life. Looking for answers with food, alcohol, exercise, shopping, accomplishments, or even attention has left you exhausted and empty. You have a great life but it doesn't feel great living it.

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.
