The primary focus of my practice for 40 years has been helping people achieve recovery from substance use disorders. I use a collaborative, motivational approach, rather than confrontation, and work with people on setting and achieving realistic and healthy goals for their problems. I believe, (as did Bill Wilson, the founder of AA) that there are many paths to recovery; each person must work on a program that reflects their unique needs and assets. I encourage people to explore their resources, their obstacles and their values in setting goals and in working a positive program. Secondarily, I am trained in couples/marital therapy.
Most people with substance use problems have struggled unsuccessfully to control their use, and feel demoralized and shameful. My initial goal is to restore a sense of hope and defuse the shame the often prevents a person from seeking help in the first place.
I have worked in this field for over 40 years, and have trained professionals nationally and internationally. I have written a book and several articles for professionals and for the general public. My office is comfortable and private, insuring confidentiality, including a private screened-in porch. I am comfortable with teletherapy.
