I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor who has worked in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use disorders for twenty+ years. I am especially concerned for, not only the person who uses, but the people who have been affected by a loved one's behaviors, be it substance use or something else. Often dealing with a loved one's issues can cause significant impairment in your own life and mental health. Self-care is essential if you are going to live a sane and happy life. To help someone else, it is of upmost importance to have support and help for yourself.
My approach to the work is as eclectic as my taste in music (which is very eclectic). We will use strategies that will best help you as an individual; CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative therapy, CRAFT (for families of folks struggling with Substance Use disorders) and others . We are all different and what helps one person, may not benefit you.
Change isn't easy. Life can be difficult sometimes and it can be really hard to know what to do. A burden shared can lighten the load. If you're looking at this site, you are on the right track. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help and I respect you for taking the step. Feel free to reach out to me, I would like to help you navigate your change.
