Have you been told by family or friends "you have a drinking or drug problem"?

Have you had legal problems related to substance use?

Are you not sure if your substance use is a problem?

I can help you with this.  I am trained to help people figure out if their substance use is a problem and if they need to do something about it.  Figuring this out can be a process.  The model I use is a gentle model designed to help people move through the journey of discovery to reach a better understanding of themselves and to make decisions based upon what is healthy for themselves.

OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES

When people come to me for help with cessation of drugs and/or alcohol I use a cognitive behavioral model which is designed to help the individual make logical decisions about using substances.

If a person is unable to maintain periods of abstinance, they need a more intensive level of treatment than I can provide.  In these cases I will facilitate a referral option for appropriate treatment.



AFTERCARE SERVICES

After one completes residential or Intensive Outpatient Services the work has just begun. Now comes maintaining and applying recovery.  I have specialty training in providing aftercare services.  I work with the individaul to identify risks for relapse, triggering situations, and common pitfalls.

I also use Mindfulness Techniques as an alternative to calm the mind,  Research on Mindfulness shows long term changes in the brains of individuals who use mindfulness practice regularly.  My clients who use minfulness report rellief from anxiety and obsessions about using.

I also use Jungian techniques to help reach deep into the psyche where the individual can make positive changes in how they experience themselves in the world.
