Substance Abuse Treatment

When drinking is putting your marriage at risk.

Many of the people I work with come in after their spouse has said something has to change. I help you stop, and I help the two of you repair what the drinking has damaged.

Who this is for

The person drinking, the partner, and the two of you.

If you're the one drinking

You may not be sure you have a problem. You do know your marriage is in trouble. We start there.
If you're the partner

You've asked, argued, and waited. Counseling gives you a place to say what you need and decide what comes next.
If you come together

Stopping is one job and rebuilding trust is another. I work with you on both.

My approach

Addiction and the marriage, treated together.

I've spent 16 years as an addiction counselor and 9 as a marriage and family therapist. I work on both at once, because the drinking and the relationship affect each other every day.

Sessions are private, direct, and focused on what you can do this week. They typically last about 50 minutes.

If you drink heavily every day

Talk to a doctor before you stop. Stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and medical support makes it safer.

Common questions

Before you start.

What should I expect in a session?

A safe and welcoming place for open, honest conversation. I listen to your concerns and work with you on what's driving them and what to do next.

How long is each session?

Sessions typically last about 50 minutes. That's enough time to get into your concerns and set goals for the week ahead.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. What you discuss in sessions stays between us, with a few exceptions concerning safety.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Book a free 15-minute consultation online and pick a time that works for you. We'll schedule sessions from there.

What if I need to reschedule?

Let me know as soon as you can, and I'll do my best to find another time that fits your schedule.

How it works

Start with a 15-minute conversation.

The first call is free. It's a chance to see whether working together makes sense before you commit to anything.

Tell me what's going on

We talk about what's happening and what you'd like to change. Ask me anything about how I work.
Decide together

If it's a good fit, we schedule a first session. If it isn't, there's no obligation.
