Drug Addiction and Alcohol Therapy 

Struggling with Substance Abuse?

I have extensive experience helping clients with substance abuse, alcohol abuse, and drug addiction. I have found that clients have unique relationships with substances. An important part of this addiction therapy is finding the utility and meaning of substance use in one's life and identifying the changes you want to make. 

You may know you have a problem and have difficulty stopping. On the other hand, you may be unsure if your drug or alcohol use is a problem, or unsure if you want to stop. You may be interested in strategies and support in reducing your use. Perhaps you have stopped using, but wonder if more in-depth work could help.

These questions are hard to answer on your own.  In working with a therapist experienced with substance use and addiction you can be supported and achieve clarity.  I have found that clients feel better and make progress when the treatment is tailored to their concerns and goals.

Some of my experience with substance abuse includes:
  • Hospital inpatient and outpatient treatment
  • Residential and day treatment drug and alcohol programs
  • Private practice addiction therapy
  • Knowledge and experience with 12 step and other abstinence based programs
  • Harm reduction and moderation management
  • Collaboration with other addiction professionals and psychiatrists
Whatever your concerns are I am more than happy to discuss them with you. Please contact me by completing the form or call me at 415-944-7466.
