People can become addicted to just about anything. Some of the more common addictions are smoking, drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, and shopping among countless others. An addiction is when you feel a compulsive need to do something and you have no ability to control that desire. Addictions can interfere with your way of life, be detrimental to your health, cause financial problems, damage your family or social relationships, and completely overtake your life. Addictions can also cause you to hurt yourself or someone you love. I can help you manage your addictions through behavioral and cognitive counseling.

I recognize that the most important aspect to an effective therapeutic treatment is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. Through this collaborative approach, the client and I identify their strengths and build on these characteristics through therapy. We identify areas in the individuals’ life which are not useful or producing an undesirable outcome-such as self-destructive behavior, poor communication skills, etc.

There are many benefits of drug addiction counseling. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, behavioral therapies like drug addiction counseling are the most commonly used forms of drug abuse treatment. Counseling can help those who are addicted to drugs in a number of ways and can be used alone or with another type of drug addiction treatment, such as medication. If you are someone who is currently addicted to drugs and wants to stop using drugs because your life is unmanageable, it is important for you to understand that drug addiction counseling is going to be a part of your recovery.

Addiction can really take hold of you and destroy everything that you've been hoping to accomplish in your life! And it's really a difficult thing to face and stop, but your life can be so much better! You can stop drinking and using! If you're here looking for a counselor, you are ready to try and I'd like to help you. I believe in using an approach of respect, honesty, and directness. You need to learn to face life without your substance. To face the ups and downs of life without chemicals and to experience your emotions without becoming overwhelmed. Counseling can help you to learn new ways of coping and to face the shame head-on. Isn't it time to start healing?

Sexual addiction is our top specialty. Those with out of control sexual behaviors find themselves missing work, staying up all night, going against their own values and putting themselves at risk for legal, marital and health consequences. We don't pathologize the sexual behaviors, we explore the unhealthy relationship the client has with the sexual behaviors. There isn't any certain sexual act that is problematic as much as it is the compulsivity around it. Worse is the effects on a someone who discovers their partner is sexual acting out with other people, pornography or any other sexual betrayal. The betrayal is profound and recovering from this demands the right set of therapeutic tools.
