I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified addictions counselor. I support the idea that sobriety is possible with treatment and a desire to change. I treat substance abuse and addiction, along with the family issues that commonly accompany these maladies. I am able to assist individuals with dual diagnoses and the associated mental health concerns. I believe strongly that long term sobriety is based on personal awareness and friendly support. I integrate twelve step philosophy as part of a larger perspective related to what it takes to remain sober. I have access to inpatient or outpatient treatment resources both locally and nationally.

I helps individuals explore and understand the underlying causes and contributing factors of their addiction. I can assist in identifying triggers, addressing past traumas, exploring co-occurring mental health disorders, and examining patterns of behavior that may have led to addiction. I focus on developing relapse prevention strategies to help individuals maintain their recovery over the long term. I assist individuals in identifying high-risk situations, developing effective coping mechanisms, and creating a relapse prevention plan. By anticipating and addressing potential triggers and challenges, therapy enhances the individual's ability to sustain recovery.

Drug dependency and on going negative habits can be profoundly challenging to overcome, affecting every aspect of an individual's life. Addressing these issues often requires a multifaceted approach, combining personal resolve with professional support. A lot of people only think that a psychiatrist in can prescribe medication but the guidance of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) can play critical roles in facilitating recovery and helping individuals break free from these destructive patterns.
