My Background and Approach
Are you feeling distressed and frustrated over having lost some or all control over gambling, shopping, obsessive & compulsive behaviors, sex, alcohol, cannabis, or other substances in your life or the lives of loved ones? Are you feeling despair, isolation, anxiety, loneliness or depression? Are you re-living past hurt & loss repeatedly? Have the continuing stressors of the pandemic driven a wedge between you and your spouse or significant other? Has the pandemic caused you social anxiety? “Stop waiting for tomorrow, let’s start the Healing Process Today”.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My philosophy is that people can change, adjust, learn and adapt to new ways of coping with life stressors that can restore purpose and meaning in their lives. Sometimes making slight adjustments to our belief systems, thought processes, emotions and behaviors can produce a positive life change. I also believe that past traumatic experiences can surface and take over our lives in the here and now, if not treated. Often, working with people who are experiencing some form or severity of addiction have an underlining psychological issue they are self-medicating such as stress, anxiety, social anxiety, anger, trauma, abandonment, situational depression or a life adjustment. When this underlined issue is treated, the severity and distress of the addiction is reduced. I have 28 years’ experience working in addictions and mental health, both public and private. Although I’ve been involved in 12 step programs for 39 years and have 11 years sobriety, I understand that one size does not fit all.
