Alcohol Use Therapists in San Diego, CA

I offer counseling services to adults and adolescents coping with substance use disorders. With a background in fitness, I believe strongly in holistic transformation of mind, body, and soul. I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CCAPP). I received my Bachelor’s of Science: Health and Wellness from Rasmussen College and I am currently completing the AODs program at SD City College. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer (NFPT).

I am a therapist who is experienced in using CBT, COD, Brief Therapy, PTSD, Trauma, Grief and Loss, DBT, and Biopsychosocial therapeutic modalities. Understanding where you, the client, is now, in your quest for answers and help for your therapy needs, is where we start. I have experience in helping adults and older adults in identifying the real issues and finding answers that will help to allow for a more enlightened and often calmer existence.

Being addicted to alcohol or drugs is like being in a dark pit where you do not know what is up and what is down. It is cold and lonely, and you can feel hopeless about finding any escape. Being the family member of a loved one who is struggling with addiction is scary and can leave you sad and in a constant state of uncertainty. You are always asking yourself why is your loved one pushing aside the life ring you toss out and grabbing the anchor of drugs and alcohol over and over and over again. You see they are drowning and feel you cannot save them. Addiction is insidious, but there are paths to recovery.

We treat depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions. Our approach is to address underlying issues and provide treatment that heals the person as a whole. We utilize evidence-based and self-empowering modalities and create a safe space for you to work towards gaining insight into your choices and nehaviors. We guide you to set your own goals and arrive at your own solutions as we believe you have the answers and need a supportive space to see them. It takes a lot of courage and humility to ask for help and we make every effort to make your investment count.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the client and myself. My hope is to create a safe environment to explore your emotions and issues that brought you to counseling. My style is both direct and nurturing. I specialize working with adolescents and adults individually, as couples or with a family. I use an eclectic approach to best support long-term well being in your daily life.

If alcohol or drugs is causing problems in any area of your life, I am here to help. The disease of addiction disconnects you from everything that is important in your life and healing is about reconnecting and re-engaging with life. I want to know what is important to you and I use a non-judgmental approach to understand your unique challenges.

Are you struggling with substances but feel “rehab” isn’t right for you? You don’t need to leave your job or family for a month to find the help you need. Addiction is tough: that compulsion to go back and do the same thing over and over, even though you know it's destroying your life... You feel fear, anxiety, failure, worthlessness, humiliation, contempt... You've tried to break the 'habit', get your control back, but just when you start feeling some success you stumble, and you're back in the same hole again. Breaking your substance abuse alone is not as simple as it sounds. Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab.

Addiction is not a problem to be fixed, but rather a person. I have worked with many people with various addictions and realize that addressing one problem from one perspective is not enough. I specialize in getting to know a person first and then helping that person heal from past hurts, learn skills for problem-solving, improve communication, build strong relationships, practice ways to manage strong emotions, learn to slow down and change their harmful or intrusive thoughts, draw from their faith for strength, develop strong support systems, and with all this, hope of long-term recovery can become reality.
