Get To Know Me
Are there any recurring themes or issues you’ve noticed as you treat people in your area of specialization, and how has this insight guided your approach?
One of the most reoccurring themes in substance abuse is denial. Many times, due to the environment in which people are raised, this is their normal. However, it could be the only coping skill the client has learned to use with past trauma, or pain. This has guided my approach, to be a holistic counselor. I look at all avenues for a solution. There is a solution.
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
My personal experiences have influenced me in working with clients in substance abuse. I came from a family who were non-drinkers on one side and the other side made up for it. I saw the dynamics on both sides of the family as mirror images. This made an impression as a small child. As an mature adult, I have seen substance abuse destroy many families. I have seen innocent young people hurt by someone's addiction. I feel I can help sort through this. .
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I believe the therapy goals are a collaborative effort. We as a team decide what goals you want to achieve through therapy, and discuss the avenues you feel are the best for you in achieving these goals. There are many avenue to to same goals, and some work better than others. I may have suggestions, you however, are the ultimate decision maker. I believe in you.
