Substance Use

Substance use can interfere with our ability to function in everyday life. It can destroy relationships with our family, spouse, partner, and friends. There are many types of therapies that deal with substance use. My belief is that the best way to deal with substance use is to understand why we are using a particular substance. The root cause can be childhood trauma, PTSD from being in the military, grief, job loss, physical disability, pain management, and many other issues. I try to help those dealing with substance use disorder understand that there is hope for recovery and that the stigma that goes with addiction can be healed.
