I strive to provide clients with a strong understanding of the disease of addiction, particularly the biological processes that contribute to addictive behaviors. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding what is happening and why, allowing clients to move beyond simply being told what they need to change. I also focus heavily on identifying core belief systems and helping clients recognize how irrational or maladaptive beliefs influence emotions, decision-making, and dysfunctional patterns of behavior.
