Sometimes it’s difficult for individuals who have experienced a tragic event or challenging childhood, to come to terms with it as adults. Unresolved issues can originate from the past, and somehow manifest through certain behavior. As a therapist I believe collaborating with the client is important so that we can explore the issues together. Gaining insight is beneficial for a client to understand the root cause of the behavior.

As a psychologist, I specialize in working with bright and motivated men and women in their 30s and 40s who have come to a point of needing help but are wisely insisting on help from the right match. Whatever your presenting problem might be, my experience suggests the right help is someone who can: show they understand your problem; skillfully guide your self-exploration; consult on learning in your edges of growth; and project a course for how your work might proceed. Finding the right help may be the most important task of therapy. If what I've suggested here resonates with you, we might could be a good match together.

Does life feel really "heavy" right now? Have you been too strong for too long? You do not have to live this way. You do not have to accept a “new normal”. Depression, anxiety, and Post Traumatic Stress can be managed and hopefully eliminated from your life. You can love your life again or maybe for the first time. I utilize traditional talk therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to find the root cause of the problem and address it at the source. My approach is to teach you the how and the why of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress and then work together to figure out how to help you live your best life possible.

Alcohol Use Therapists

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.
