When pills or alcohol are used excessively, it can ruin family relationships, affect your work performance and put you at risk of danger as your inhibitions are lowered. A substance abuse counselor is introduced to determine the extent of the abuse and to create a treatment plan to help affected persons make healthier and improved life choices. The treatment also depends on whether patients are indulging and becoming intoxicated owing to depression, anxiety and other psychological conditions.

Addictions (substance or behavioral) are often coping mechanisms you developed early in life to help you deal with anxiety, sadness, feeling like you don't fit in, feeling you don't matter, feeling powerless, or for numbing the pain of being criticized, abandoned, neglected, abused or traumatized in some other way. Traumatic events or a life time of upsetting events are often the root cause of addiction. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist with extensive experience in helping adults heal from and put in the past the upsetting events that contribute to their addiction. EMDR Therapy is highly effective and is offered at all the leading residential treatment programs for addiction recovery.

Are you concerned about your own substance use or find yourself in the role of a concerned person? A substance use consultation might be right for you. This is different than a therapy session.

Have you lost enthusiasm for your Recovery? Do you feel tired of talking about your sobriety? Are you hoping that life will "get back to normal"? I can assist you in getting your recovery back on track!
