We all need a little help sometimes, and a good shoulder to lean on.
Reaching out is the hardest part of this whole process. I know how hard it can be to reach out and walk in the door for the first appointment. I promise it will get easier as it goes along. I also have heard it all and seen it all, and there isn’t much that will surprise me.
I specialize in addictions with teenagers and young adults. My focus will not be on the substance using behavior, but also in helping you reconnect with loved ones, your goals, and the community. My job is to challenge you to meet your goals, and provide you some gentle tools to get you there. I use evidence-based practices including: motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA).
If we feel like we aren’t a good fit for each other, please try someone else on for size. Therapy and therapists are not one-size-fits-all and it is important to sample it until you find the right fit.
