Life can be hard, especially when what used to make it bearable just doesn't cut it anymore. The fact is that addiction is complicated. It is messy, tricky, and heavily stigmatized. I'm here to provide you with empathy, suggestions, and stability. In short, counseling. You've come this far, so consider taking that leap and giving something else a try. Recovery doesn't start with stopping. Recovery starts when you wonder if there's another way. I provide drug and alcohol addiction counseling as well as Department of Transportation SAP services. Call me for a free consultation and see if I'm a good fit for you.

Let me help you "Design Your Life!" We tend to design certain parts of our lives, maybe where we're going to live, or what kind of job we want to have. But when it comes to the most important things: relationships, marriages, parenting, and our own happiness, we often tend to just land where we land. Then we wonder why we are not happy or why things are not working out the way we had hoped. My goal is to help you get in the "driver's seat" of your life, to find true fulfillment, to "Design Your Life."

Addiction is a confusing, overwhelming, & powerful force. It is all- encompassing, taking over slowly or quickly in every area of one's life. Before long you don't know which way is up and are just struggling to get through the day...or hour. Together we uncover patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, understand why you developed these patterns, and discover new ways of living. I support individuals in rediscovering who they are and what they are passionate about.

Everyone is different and their issues are different, but their problems are similar. Many people suffer alone and their quality of life is effected due to them not knowing how to work through their struggles. I have had experience working with clients with trauma both from adulthood and early childhood, betrayal trauma, grief issues, addiction, anxiety and depression, and relationship issues.

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.
