Many of my clients struggle with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Today's fast paced life presents challenges that often prove too much for us to manage and we may need a helping hand to help get us back on track to healthy living. Often when people abuse drugs or alcohol it is the result of deeper-rooted issues. I try to help my clients search for meaning in their lives and try to make sense of behaviors, learn new ones if necessary, and embark on a healthier way of life. I believe there are many different paths to recovery and am willing to explore different avenues to meet client specific needs. I am trained in multiple evidence-based modalites such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered and Emotional-Focused Therapy. I tailor treatment plans to each client individually, incorporating a collaborative plan based on assessment of the person's personal needs and goals. I always strive to provide empathy, understanding and education for each client individually. Recovery is a process of growth, often challenged by obstacles and difficulties. However with the right balance of effort, education, and mutual respect we can work to together to achieve success.
