I have extensive experience working with individuals in various stages of chemical dependency recovery. I have provided counseling, developed individualized treatment plans, and facilitated group therapy sessions. My approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practices, ensuring that clients feel supported and empowered throughout their journey.

I address challenging behaviors with a combination of patience, clear communication, and a structured approach. I aim to understand the underlying causes of these behaviors and work collaboratively with clients to develop strategies for managing them. My goal is to create a safe and respectful environment where clients feel understood and supported.

I utilize a variety of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These approaches help clients identify and modify harmful thought patterns, build motivation for change, and develop coping skills to manage triggers and cravings.

I value collaboration and regularly communicate with other healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers. I attend team meetings, share client progress notes, and seek input on treatment plans. This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive care and addresses the holistic needs of each client.

In one case, I worked with a client who had struggled with addiction for over a decade. Through a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, and family involvement, we were able to address the root causes of their addiction. Over time, the client developed a strong support network and relapse prevention plan, leading to sustained recovery and improved quality of life.
