My Expert Service
|
|
I am a psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist. My work is focused in the arena of how interpersonal communication conflicts and how addictions take it's toll on relationships and how to mend them.I believe that many problems we suffer from (depression, anxiety, loneliness, etc) are environmental, meaning that if you take a good picture of the forces in your environment affecting your daily life, it will be easier to learn how to help yourself to feel less depressed, anxious, or lonely. I have years of experience with both adolescent issues and adult addiction problems. I believe each person holds the answer to their troubles in their own mind - you are the expert of you- I see my role as that of a helper that seeks to help you uncover those answers we haven't accessed yet. In my position at the drug rehab (see "Exp. & Qual.") I worked extensively with men and women struggling with long-term drug/alc problems on an individual basis and counseled them on how it affected their families. Change is not always easy to handle, even when the change is a positive one. I understand those dynamics and would like an opportunity to help you understand what you might expect when you begin making those changes you want to make in your life.

Experience & Qualifications
|
|
I was the director of a large residential drug and alcohol program for over a year. I have 3 years teaching at the university level. For as much as I greatly enjoyed that,I feel I do my best work in the counseling room. My private practice is built on referrals from the local child welfare services agency, word-of-mouth, & those with private insurance. I completed my doctorate in 2009 in Psychology and have been published as a chapter co-author in a textbook on substance abuse in special populations. Leading up to my current positions, I have spent a few years working with adolescent in a group home setting, as a therapist at a residential eating diorders clinic, and as a treatment team supervisor at an agency which treats the long term severely mentally ill persons. My specialty is substance abuse/dependence, but I am qualified and have vast experience in the areas mentioned above.
