I especially enjoy working with women broadly on empowerment issues in the areas of emotional coping, stress managment and self care, trauma, addictions, self esteem, and functioning healthily in relationships. I have experience working with women who struggle with eating disorders, childhood abuse and abuse in adult relationships, post-partum depression, major depression, and anxiety disorders. I have lengthy experience in treating men and women with substance abuse and dependence issues indivdually and in groups using a number of approaches. Recovering people struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, dysfunctional relationships, and coping . Effective relapse prevention and recovery require addressing these. Life-long recovery from all disorders means developing a recovery-oriented lifestyle and increase in quality of life. My goal and intention is to assist and support this. I have many hours of continuing education in a variety of issues and approaches and am particualrly interested in remianing up to date on new information and developments that benefit clients. For example, new knowledge about neurochemistry of addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety sheds light on these issues and how to treat them more effectivley.
