Substance abuse and addiction often occur as sufferers try to self-medicate.
These are extremely stressful times but you do not have to face it all alone. Depression and anxiety can lead, if left untreated, to isolation and self-destructive behaviors. Relationships may suffer and facing each day can feel overwhelming! In therapy, we work on restoring relationships. We work together to understand why you do what you do - then, change will come! Destructive patterns can be conquered. Trauma, stress, conflict, and great loss CAN lose their power. I love working with individual adults, families, couples, and teens who are ready to overcome their challenges.

I am a retired high tech executive who has embarked on a career as a life coach specializing in addiction counseling. As a State-certified counselor, I’ve helped men from 20 to 60 years of age and from many backgrounds. However, having worked in the corporate world, I’m uniquely qualified to help people struggling with substance abuse in high pressure environments. Addiction is a secondary issue in my view. The problem is most people approach life in a reactive, rather than proactive mode. This usually results in sub-optimal outcomes. I will help you with personal and professional life planning to get your life on track.

Many men have lost their way and struggle with being emotionally closed, difficulty expressing love/affection, addictions,being irritable and angry too much.
Making the decision to go to a counselor/psychotherapist is a true act of courage. I honor you for taking this courageous step. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.

With roots in in-patient treatment, recovery/ addiction treatment, and wilderness therapy, I am comfortable meeting individuals in their raw states and supporting them earnestly as they rebuild into the person they want to be.
The clients I see desire to experience more authentic connection with themselves and others. There are barriers that inhibit them from this connection, often rooted in past trauma that has manifested in current fears, behaviors, and protective mechanisms. These barriers can look like depression, low self worth or self esteem, addiction, eating disorders/body dysmorphia, anxiety, or PTSD. Engaging in the therapeutic process means courageously sifting through past and present and taking inventory of self, in order to keep what is important and let go of what is not.

I have experience working with young adults and adults who have experienced relationship issues, dysfunctional family dynamics, trauma, addiction, personality disorders, depression and anxiety.
Although I believe that the goals of therapy are always first and foremost determined by you, I generally hold the hope that you will find more joy in life. To that end, I believe in an eclectic theoretical approach, one that draws on a wide range of perspectives including humanist/existential philosophy, Jungian psychodynamics, trauma-informed and client-centered practice, because I believe people are eclectic. No one therapeutic approach is more correct than another, they simply describe different aspects of human experience.

With my mindfulness approach, I help people to increase their tolerance of discomfort, and to address symptoms of anxiety and unwanted habits such as emotional eating, substance, and digital use.
My goal is to see to it that by the end of therapy you leave with a whole range of new insights, skills, and confidence leading you to a more fulfilled and comfortable life. Therapy is an investment in the quality of your life. I believe it should result in valuable new ways to be with yourself and others. I help people who feel stuck, lost, and overwhelmed, or are having difficulties with relationships or harmful patterns of behavior. I'm predominantly existential, relational, and humanistic and teach a mindfulness-like process. My clients feel supported and heard, but also learn effective tools toward building the life they want.

What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
