Accepting new clients! Are you experiencing problems with drugs or alcohol? Well there's good news and bad news. First the bad news. It takes effort to stop addictive behaviors, and to address the underlying emotional or trauma issues that compel you to relapse over and over again. There’s no magic wand, no Abracadabra. Now the good news. The cycle doesn’t have to be endless, and recovery is possible!
I have 29 years experience working in the addictions and mental health treatment field and have worked in a variety of settings. I authored a workbook on Mindfulness-Based Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. I also teach coping skills for dealing with trauma and problematic emotions that can perpetuate addictive behavior, such as depression and anxiety.
My approach is eclectic, client-centered, empathic, and goal-directed. My priority is to help folks either still struggling with addiction or beginning the recovery journey. I can help you chart a path to sobriety and wellness, and to begin to address the underlying reasons behind addictive behavior. I currently offer video sessions.
