Elizabeth's work with addictions center around the role of dopamine in the addiction cycle as well as brain adaptations (compensation and withdrawal). Her work focuses on cognitive restructuring around the areas of: reward (nucleus accumbens), motivation (orbitofrontal cortex), memory (amygdala and hippocampus), and cognitive control (prefrontal cortex and cingulate gyrus). Her work centers on the 12-step model.

I offer counseling services to individuals with addictions and substance abuse problems, and to those who love them. Whether alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, or another variety, addiction usually begins as an effort to self-medicate. The person feels relief after partaking, so the desire to use the method again becomes stronger until it becomes an addiction. I individualize plans to tailor to your needs and offer evidence-based solutions to help you regain control of your life. In addition, I am a U.S. Department of Transporation Services Substance Abuse Professional which means that I work with commercial transportation workers who have tested positive for a substance while on the job. Call today to talk about your needs.
