Everyday, there are people recovering from a drug or alcohol problem who want to feel happier in their lives but find the recovery process very stressful.
People under this type of stress do not enjoy life the way they want and accept this as the new normal in their lives. Being unhappy, they often find themselves to returning to the same negative habits they were trying to change.
People with these struggles often have problems at work, with their family and friends, or develop chronic medical issues that do not improve which sometimes can lead to death.
People under this type of stress may try and feel hopeful that things will change by trying the same things over again, but eventually get the same results. It becomes an endless cycle which often slows down, but never stops and they never have the quality of life they desire.
I am considered an advanced licensed addiction therapist (LCADC, AADC, ICADDC) extensive long term personal recovery experience. I assist clients who speak either English or Spanish languages to help them overcome many types of personal problems caused by their alcohol or drug use, gambling, or other unhealthy lifestyles. I am also an experienced ICGC-I who often works with 800-GAMBLER to help those suffering financial and relational hardship related to sports, online gambling, or other games of chance.
I am here for you
My clients report improved self-esteem, personal relationships, and life satisfaction when they become successful in their recovery goals. My empathic therapy style is client-centered, trauma-informed, with an informative and empowering approach which helps reduce stress and anxiety in the therapy process. All my services are confidential, and clients have the option to include family members or spouses to improve any miscommunication or mistrust caused by the addiction.
As a SAP, I am properly certified to provide assessments and referrals for DOT type employers who require certain employees to complete a return to work protocol, and as a CCS I often train other professionals in the field.
Thankfully, I can help empower you to make the positive changes that will stop this endless cycle, and help you find the recovery results which will allow you to be happier in your life.
