About
An ideal client recognizes their substance use has become problematic and is motivated to make positive changes. They may face physical, emotional, and interpersonal issues and feel overwhelmed. Services they may require include diagnosis, counseling, group therapy, and referrals for additional resources. Their goals may include abstinence, physical/mental health improvement, relationship repair, and healthy coping strategies. Motivations for seeking help vary, but clients must have a desire for a fulfilling life free from negative consequences of substance abuse. Support and empowerment are essential in the journey to recovery. My approach to helping clients triumph over addiction is direct yet empathetic. Rather than adhering to any specific model of recovery, I work closely with clients to help them achieve their full potential. In my experience, true change comes from a thorough examination of the beliefs and thought patterns that have hindered progress.
