Substance Use Therapists in Arden-Arcade, Sacramento, CA

For many people, standard 12 step-dominated substance use treatment does not work. People may tell you that your problem is a lack of willingness, or that you are in "denial." But maybe you need someone to listen to you rather than talk at you. The fact that these programs do not work for you does not mean that you are not capable of change. It probably just means that you have not found an approach that addresses your individual needs and values.

I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 25 years. I believe that clients come to counseling not only to gain a better understanding of themselves, but with a desire to learn new skills and tools to apply to their lives. Please call me personally to discuss your needs.

My main therapeutic proficiency is Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I also incorporate hypnotherapy for appropriate situations. I worked as a drug and alcohol counselor, for 10 years, helping recipients of DUI’s to utilize alternative outlets for their personal challenges. I also worked as a research assistant for a neuropsychologist. While working with the neuropsychologist, I had the opportunity to work with juvenile delinquents to foster their sense of self-worth and help facilitate a positive life orientation.

**ONLINE THERAPY AVAILABLE** Do you come from a family where one or both of your parents/caregivers were not emotionally there for you as a child, maybe they had an addiction (alcohol, drugs, work, anything else but you)? From these experiences as a child you received and downloaded messages that impact your life now as an adult. Maybe now as an adult you too suffer from an addiction, experience depression and/or anxiety or perhaps you keep finding yourself in co-dependent relationships. You want to break free from feeling lost and/or out of control, you want to be happy and feel secure in yourself and relationships.

Are you looking for a therapist you can really feel comfortable with? Someone you feel really gets you and you can open up to? I may just be the right therapist for you! Studies show that the most healing factor of successful therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. In therapy I am very open and genuine with my clients, and people often comment on feeling that I am very approachable. I primarily practice from an attachment perspective, which emphasizes the ways that significant relationships in our lives effect our mental health and relationship patterns.
