Having worked in the addiction counseling and psychotherapy field has allowed me to become a certified alcohol and addiction counselor (CASAC) where I offer treatment for substance abuse understanding individuals who suffer from addiction and their families who also might be suffering. I have helped many clients find treatment help whether its in Westchester or Putnam County partnering with substance abuse rehabs and other treatment providers. Often the client likes to talk about their struggles or a family member might call for an intervention. Call to discuss your needs.

The cycle of addiction is dizzying to the addict and it creates what I calling "doing" some forward movement in growth. And undoing. The old (by now probably moldy) undoing). The trapdoor for the addict is you know the drug offers relief. And since you live only in the hear and now (emotional and physical pain can cause that feeling) you want the instant relief that it seems only the drug gives you. My job is to gently and sometimes not so gently dispel you of this massive myth. What you really need is to learn to slow down by substitution of behaviors. It will be clearer when we meet.

Are you wondering if your behavior is an Addiction? Clients often seek out therapy because they feel unsure about whether or not they're addicted. Sometimes, they are sure and have realized that they can't kick the illness alone.

Addictions tear families apart, causing legal and monetary issues, divorce, as well as thousands of physical fatalities every year as a side effect. Despite the prominence of addiction today, there is hope and help waiting for you! I have years of experience treating addicts and helping them regain their lives successfully.

It is both a challenging a empowering road when it comes to recovery from addiction. It takes commitment and willingness to start moving toward healthy change. When you are ready for that step, I am here to support you on a healing journey. Therapy will uncover self-destructive beliefs or habits (addictions/ patterns) that prevent you from feeling a sense of freedom and purpose. I also work with family members of those struggling with addiction. When addiction is present in a family, it has a profound impact on the entire family system. I aim to help individuals understand the addiction cycle and implement a recovery process that works best for you.

As a drug and alcohol counselor for children, teens and adults I provide psychoeducational information on relapse prevention and assist with collateral care. Within a school setting I have taught and counseled at risk students and children of alcoholics. Within a mental health clinic environment many clients were treated successfully who had a dual diagnosis. I have worked closely with psychiatrists to help monitor medications that assist patients in being successful with their recovery. I continue to attend ongoing workshops and classes that keep me on the cutting edge of being an effective and successful drug and alcohol counselor.
