Addiction is a main focus of my practice and one in which many clients have maintained sobriety and a deepening of personal understaning and growth. The position of the therapy I employ is that people abuse substances as a way to self medicate for mental health problems; most notably depression and bi-polar disorder. The majority of addicts either have tramatic histories or genetic predispositions for mental illness (or both). The goal of therapy is to manage mood through a variety of interventions and to gain insight about loss and trama. Cognitive intervetins are employed and often recovery and 12 step communities are used to augment therapy.

It is understandable that we might be drawn to a substance or behavior that promises quick relief from painful feelings. No one likes thinking they might be doing something over which they have no control But sometimes a combination of genetic, social and psychological factors may leave someone vulnerable to a dependency that takes them by surprise and seems to take on a life of its own. Despite your best intentions, you may find yourself drinking more than you intended, and you realize that it is beginning to cause more harm than good. It may be hard to picture life without it. An opportunity to talk can help you decide if there is a problem, and what you can do about it.

I have 20 years of expertise in treating addictions in outpatient, inpatient, and office-based settings. I encourage participation in 12-step programs along with addiction psychotherapy, but do not require this. Treatment plans for each patient are very individualized and flexible depending upon the patient's specific goals and needs. I also provide couples and family sessions for self-identified addicted patients, patients in question about whether or not they are addicted, and for significant others coping with addictions of loved ones.

I've helped clients overcome the crippling effects of addiction and am experienced working with a variety of addictions: alcohol, drugs, food, internet and porn, gambling, shopping, and spending addictions. We'll work on behavioral controls, putting thoughts between feelings and addictive behaviors, psycho-education about the benefits of sober and abstinent behaviors, as well as reducing the self-esteem problems that can lead to addictive behavior. I am a supporter of 12 Step Programs but also realize that these don't work for everyone, and my focus is on helping you do what will work for YOU.

If you want to stop your addiction to a substance or a behavior, I can help you to maintain abstinence by grounding yourself in the present moment. In working with issues of addiction I incorporate mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy, harm reduction, and 12-Step program philosophies into my practice. Being abstinent from an addiction is a ‘one day at a time’ process of managing your stress levels, changing your behavior, and not avoiding your emotional pain. Talking about the painful emotions related to your past, the same emotions that you once tried to drown with alcohol, drugs or other addictive behaviors, is key to maintaining your equilibrium in sobriety.

What addiction are you struggling with? Alcohol, drugs, sex? It doesn't matter what form it takes, it matters what it is doing to your life. If it has gotten out of control, that your addiction seems to be running your life and narrowing your options, psychotherapy with me could be the help you need. If you could fix it by thinking and figuring it out, you would have done that by now. So why not call me and set up a time to meet?

This is an area of treatment where I have seen many miracles. Successfully moving beyond substance dependence and abuse is not a matter of will power and character. Paradoxically, being strong willed and independent can work against recovery; addictions are very 'sticky' and five decades of research and experience confirms that attempting to keep them in check without help does not work. Twelve step programs (AA, NA, CA, etc) are the ‘gold standard’ of recovery, and are tried and true methods of achieving lasting abstinence. I possess a strong 12 Step program background, but know that not everybody can walk into a meeting and feel at home. Come for a consultation and see what is possible.

The present focus of my practice is not on addictions, although that is part of my training and previous emphases (including dual diagnoses) and I maintain currency as a licensed clinical addictions counselor. If you are seeking individual treatment for addictions (especially if connected to other issues), I would welcome talking about this with you to help determine if I would be the right person for you to work with. My general approach is from a systems approach combined with pastoral counseling. Assistance can also be offered for those who are seeking to deepen the spiritual dimension of their recovery. I look forward to your journey to wholeness and peace.

Addiction can take over an individuals life and leave them feeling lost and alone. At some point the addiction served as a coping mechanism but now the consequences have definitely outweighed the benefits. Through therapy, the hope is to relearn the process of coping and explore alternative ways that are long-lasting and come from inside, rather than an external source.

Addiction issues are wide and varied. Be it alcohol or drug abuse, gambling, food, sexualizing or the internet, substance and situational addictions can consume our lives. Part of the difficulty is understanding one's journey through the continuum of addiction...trying to understand where that shift materialized from indulgence to over-indulgence to true addiction. Besides a behavioral approach we need to understand why we entered this cycle of dependency. Once we begin to take our lives back we are on the road to independence and self regard, the two best weapons that protect us from returning to our addictive cycle.

It is important to look for antecedents to risky behavior - that is, what makes you more likely to repeat the addictive behavior. I can help in cases of milder substance abuse for those willing and able to cut down intake, and sex addiction (e.g., internet pornography, multiple partners). I can look at problematic behaviors associated with substance use and sex addiction that get in the way of important relationships. A prior history of criminal behavior or childhood sexual abuse requires another professional who has received special training in this area.

The purpose of any addiction is to keep you from feeling your feelings. Whether you are addicted to a drug, shopping, working, eating, etc, we can work together to help you cope more effectively with your feelings that have held you hostage. If your goal is to live authentically empowered, and not at the mercy of your "addiction", then help is here. If you are living with, or love someone with an addiction, then you can learn to set healthy limits and boundaries so that you no longer enable addictive behaviors. You need support, guidance and understanding with a plan and goals so that you can live 'addiction-free" and face your life with clarity, serenity and respect for who you are.
