No individual is the same and therefore, I believe, no recovery journey is identical. I work to create an environment where my clients feel heard, understood, and supported as they explore their relationship with substances. I like to approach sessions as a team and empower my clients to make more effective decisions that align with their personal goals. Additionally, I provide support to families and loved ones affected by substance use through psychoeducation, improving communication, establishing healthy boundaries, and connecting them with additional resources as needed.

The journey to self-improvement often begins with a single step: recognizing the need for change. In my practice, I understand that problematic behaviors, such as drug and alcohol abuse, often stem from unmanaged issues. While these behaviors may have initially served as coping mechanisms, they often exacerbate the original problems. I offer a helping hand to guide you through the process of change.

The clients I see are creative, sensitive and curious about their experiences. Many of them are young adults who have complicated relationships with their families. I have expertise working with addiction as well as with those who grew up in families with addiction. In sessions, we get to talk about all of it and make sense of what hasn’t been spoken and organized.

Hi I’m Dean! I specialize in trauma and substance abuse but I have worked with everyone from just mental health, to dual diagnosis, specializing in anxiety and trauma. With my license I am able to see Clients in every state which is why I chose this route because I wanted to be available to those who really needed help. I am the counselor I needed when I was walking through the fire and I will be that for you. Whether your goal is to be able to get out of bed or to get sober or anything in between I will help you get there. I truly love my job and it doesn’t feel like work to me, you won’t be disappointed. Look forward to meeting!

We know how hard it can be to start with rehab. As challenging as the entire process can be, perhaps the most difficult part is the first one: that first phone call, that first moment of reaching out. When you’re ready, we’ll be here to help.

We are a sober living home for adult men seeking a safe and comfortable environment for those in recovery from addiction. If you are looking for somewhere that is peaceful and supportive, we are the house for you.

The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in Trauma focused CBT and Functional Family Systems,for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples family systems therapy.

I help families deal with difficulties in life to achieve happiness and well-being through the process of growth and healing
