Addictions

     I have worked in the field of alcoholism and addictions for over forty years in: in-patient treatment centers such as hospitals, quarter way and halfway houses and outpatient services.

     I encourage the 12 Step Programs of Alcoholics Anonymous, Alanon, Alateen, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Children of Alcoholics, Narcotic's Anonymous, Gambler's Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous...

    I work on the Twelve Steps with my client's and their sponsor if requested.

    I do interventions with family members, significant others and business associates.

    I teach clients about disease progression, Building Up to Drink (BUD), HALT(Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired), and the recovery process. We work on breaking the behavioral cycle, dealing with resentment, anger, past physical and/or sexual abuse, changing attitudes and building healthy relationships.
