  • Are you finding yourself more concerned about your drinking lately?

​

  • Have you attempted to try to cut down on your drinking and been unsuccessful?

​

  • Is this effecting other areas of your life, such as your relationships, career or health?

​

  • Do you feel like even when things are "ok", you still have a habit of picking up a drink?

​

  • Do you want to seek some help but are afraid to be labeled an "alcoholic" and be told to attend a 12-step program?

​

  • Are you afraid if you come to therapy, you're going to be told to stop drinking?

​

​

 

Many of the people I see in therapy fall into the "grey area".  They definitely don't categorize themselves as "alcoholics" - yet, they admit having concerns about the amounts that they are drinking sometimes.

​

So...what will we do in therapy?

​

This means that we explore your relationship with alcohol. My philosophy is that drinking isn't always the main problem...it's often a symptom of a bigger problem.  It's my job to support you as you make connections between your drinking and other areas of your life that may be contributing to your desire to drink.

 

I offer compassionate, supportive and individualized treatment based on your goals. Whether you are looking to moderate your use, or stop completely, I am available to help you achieve whatever you are looking for.  Initial evaluations are used to help assess your needs and begin the planning process.  All of our work is a collaborative effort.  I offer both 12-step supported and alternative, holistic treatment approaches to recovery.  Let's work together to better understand how we can move you toward feeling better, stronger and healthier.
