I look forward to meeting new clients - people who are ready to make life changes. My approach is to help others become aware of what triggers their negative feelings of rejection, abandonment, anger and hurt. Together we explore ways to eliminate unwanted behaviors and to learn positive ways to relate to others. I will help you on a road of self-discovery as you learn to identify and to understand your feelings and their origins. I like to do all of this with a sense of humor and positive reinforcement. I enjoy being with people on their journey. EXPERIENCE WITH FIRST RESPONDERS(POLICE, FIRE, CORRECTIONS, EMT).

Challenging seasons have a way of finding us and suddenly we are walking down a path we never intended to venture. Is it time for an emotional tuneup in an area of your life that you have hoped for years would go away on its own? Perhaps your story includes traumatic memories that shape your current experience, addiction to substances/compulsive behaviors, divorce, regret, or unexpected illness/chronic pain. Whatever your unique story is today, you do not have to travel alone. I also want to assure you that seasons can and do change. Facing your situation in a supported therapeutic environment is one major key to a brighter path.

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.
