I am accepting new clients. If you're not doing, thinking or feeling your best- than you owe it to yourself to do something about it. A counselor can be useful to you by helping you figure out what you want to do. Whether you want to learn to communicate better, improve your self-esteem, perform better academically, socially, athletically or if you want to free yourself from an addiction or from feelings of anxiety/depression/grief, or if you want to improve your relationships- counseling can be very useful. In terms of style, I'm a "regular, easy going guy" who will listen.

The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. My philosophy places a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship.

My experience in the field of counseling hundreds of men and women and sometimes teenagers goes back to working in a variety of mental health and substance use settings that include psych units, hospitals, crisis centers, detoxs, jails and out-patient community mental health facilities. Today I see people in private practice that have family and relationship issues related to finances, stress, sickness, recovery with and without AA, spiritual concerns with and with out religion, separation and loneliness due to the pandemic. Life just isn't working for them like it use too and they are looking to share their concerns for the future.

It’s the struggle between not being understood and not being able to communicate your needs. There’s a solution, but its only temporary and causes just as many problems as it solves. Wallowing in shame, doubt and embarrassment is starting to weigh too heavy. Conflicting racing thoughts and emotions make the situation that much worse.

Asking for help can be one of the hardest decisions/actions an individual takes when they are struggling with actively using alcohol and/or substances. I also believe it is the most courageous decision/action you may make in your life. An individual who does this is allowing themselves to be vulnerable. When done with the right support can be the most rewarding and empowering experience for an individual. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, warm space for you as the client to explore your relationship with alcohol and/or substances.

There are many reasons you might be here. You may be feeling depressed or anxious - or you may be in the midst of a transition – or trying to process a loss or a life change. I have been in the field of Counseling for 30 + years. I have taught at universities, conducted research, written books, and presented workshops . At the heart of all of that knowledge, the most vital thing I have learned is that it is the quality of our relationships that defines our overall well-being. More importantly, it is ultimately the relationship we have with ourselves that is the key to achieving a sense of connectedness that allows us to thrive.

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.
