My Approach to Helping
Many people are finding it increasingly more difficult to do things in moderation given the current state of the economy. After a while, someone's chosen "escape" can take on a life of it's own, creating increased shame, isolation and a decline in overall performance. Whether someone is in the beginning phases of addiction or deeply entrenched, a confidential evaluation can be very beneficial. With over 27 years of clinical and supervisory experience in the field of Addiction/Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment, I offer insight, practical solutions and most important, a relaxed and private place to sort things out.
I provide a progressive approach to Addiction/Co-Existing Disorders Treatment. In laymans terms... I treat people who have issues with addictions as well as other problems that may be increasing the addictive behaviors. In many situations, family members can dramatically increase positive outcomes by exploring their own thought patterns and behaviors as well. Breaking the blame/defensiveness cycle allows for healing and change.

My primary treatment focus is Co-Occurring Disorders treatment (the treatment of addiction as primary as well as co-existing mental disorders), family issues as they relate to the family dynamics of addiction. I also specialize in adolescent substance abuse and addiction treatment and act as a liason with parents and designated academic faculty. I provide educational training to school faculty and supervisory case review within the therapeutic community. I especially enjoy facilitating group therapy as I feel it provides a safe place to practice relational skills.
I also work in collaboration with physicians for those clients that have chosen medication assisted recovery.
