My career over the last few years has been working as a Director of Addiction Recovery Services and providing outpatient counseling and therapy services to adults in 28-day Residential Treatment Programs, Partial Hospital Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).
I try to create a collaborative relationship between myself and the client. I have the belief that our thoughts are directly connected to how we feel. By working with clients to solve present-day problems it helps the client approach a stronger and healthier sense of self by focusing on the actual lived experience of a person. By helping clients gradually face and come to realize that their assumptions, evaluations and beliefs might be unhealthy and unrealistic. Having the client be aware even after they have learned to recognize when and where their mental processes have gone wrong, it can in some cases take considerable time or effort to replace a dysfunctional process or habit with a more reasonable and adaptive one.
I am committed to providing quality outpatient therapy and substance abuse treatment options to clients in Richmond. I develop a therapeutic working relationship with the client to address the full spectrum of your needs.
