Drug and Alcohol Abuse & Addiction Therapy
Are you worried about your drinking or drug use? Let’s find a path that works for you.
Each of my clients has a unique relationship with substances. In therapy we will identify the motivations, emotions and meaning of your substance use. From there I can help you clarify and make the changes you want to make.
You may know you have a problem and have difficulty stopping. On the other hand, you may be unsure if your drug or alcohol use is a problem and have questions about what to do next.
Maybe it’s time to quit. Or maybe it’s time to reduce your use.
Perhaps you’ve already stopped using, but wonder if more in-depth work could help you move forward in your life,
These questions are hard to answer on your own. Over the years I have developed an expertise and strong track record in helping clients with substance use and addiction.
We’ll work together to find what level of drug or alcohol use works in your life.
This may be reduced, more conscious use, or complete abstinence. We’ll get to know your patterns of use, triggers, and vulnerabilities to misuse. I’ll guide you to interrupt the cycle of compulsive use through planning, preparation, insight, and increased awareness of emotional states.
Some of my experience with substance abuse includes:

Knowledge and experience with 12-step and other abstinence-based programs

Whatever your concerns are, I am more than happy to discuss them with you.
