I successfully work with persons chemically addicted to drugs and alcohol. A large part of my focus is working with individuals that would benefit from the use of an addiction medication, such as Methadone or Suboxone. I also work with non-chemically addicted individuals such as problem gamblers. It is a recognized strength to work with addicted individuals with respect and dignity and without moral judgment. I support individuals' use of 12 step programs however; I effectively work with individuals who do not prescribe to 12 step philosophies.
I use a goal-oriented, cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing approach to treatment. Both have become the most well-known, mainstream approaches to therapy and they are by far the most richly researched supports for effectiveness. Recovery is a process, not an event and it requires specialized approaches.
Office hours are Tuesday - Friday evenings 5:00pm - 8:00pm and Saturday, 10am - 5pm. When at all possible I accommodate special scheduling needs. I also train on the use of Suboxone for non-medical providers should you or your practice colleagues see the need for further education on its use.
