HAVE YOU OR OTHERS HAD CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR ALCOHOL USE? WHEN FEELING ANGRY OR FRUSTRATED DO YOU USE ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUGS TO HELP RELIEVE YOUR NEGATIVE FEELINGS? Misusing alcohol, drugs, food or engaging in behaviors like excessive gambling or shopping to cope with strong emotions, may become habitual and as problematic as the negative feelings they are meant to alleviate. I provide comprehensive assessment of substance use, addictive-like behaviors and emotional, social and workplace issues that interfere with normal functioning. By employing harm-reduction, client-centered psychotherapy, we will explore whether moderate, less harmful use or abstinence are appropriate with regard to your behaviors and substance misuse. We will develop therapeutic goals to resolve behavioral-change, ambivalence, and begin to understand the emotional underpinnings of your substance abuse and self-destructive behaviors. Additionally, I provide screening, assessment and case management for impaired drivers, and others mandated for treatment by courts, probation, employers or similar sources.
