Overcoming addiction is a unique struggle. I utilize several forms of therapy including Motivational Interviewing techniques and behavioral techniques to help people with this issue. Addiction recovery requires a holistic style. If one focusses only on the behavioral aspect or only on the support aspect, or only on any one or two aspects, it is not likely to have lasting results. Often people with addiction also have depression, anxiety or trauma related issues to work on. These need to be worked on simultaneously to addiction recovery.

If you’re struggling with unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors, in some way it’s working for you. After all, they provide relief from stress and pain. But, if you’re reading this you also know that they aren’t a long-term solution. It’s common for successful men like yourself to use over-working, pornography, alcohol, technology, and emotional eating to cope with the stressful demands of life. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I won’t give you band-aid approaches to manage your stress or make you quit these behaviors. But if you’re actually ready for a change, I can help. Like an emotional surgeon, I'll help you identify the sources of your stress and pain, and heal them at the source.
