Serving Adults near Atlanta and across Georgia

You never thought you’d end up here.

On one hand, it feels like your problem with alcohol snuck up on you. On the other, it seems like you’ve been fighting it or running away from it for a while. You thought you had it under control. And really, you did … in the beginning. You’re not sure where exactly it went wrong, but now it's a problem too big to ignore. You’ve promised yourself over and over that “this time’s the last time,” but end up feeling more guilt and shame when it happens again.

For a while, you managed day-to-day life fine. But now, you spend more and more time getting alcohol, using alcohol, and recovering from alcohol. Normal life has started to disappear. Work is an escape - the one place you’ve held it together. But lately you’ve wondered how long you can keep it up. You worry that it’s only a matter of time before that disappears too.

No one sees the hidden internal war…

Relationships are strained. You feel alone; no one sees the daily battle that rages inside you. Maybe friends and family have noticed what’s happening and they’re pushing you to get help. Maybe they know something’s wrong, but you’ve hidden it well and they don’t yet understand what’s really happening. Either way, it seems like you’re walking a tightrope of balancing your needs and their expectations.

Life doesn’t have to be this way!

Recovery may be something you’re familiar with. Or this might be your first time even considering it. In either case, admitting you need help is hard … possibly the most courageous thing you’ll ever do. But sometimes doing the hard thing creates the biggest change. This can be true for your own recovery process.

You CAN get out of the crazy cycle and feel like yourself again.

You CAN wake up and look forward to the day instead of battling guilt and shame.

You CAN experience better relationships.

You CAN take back the things alcohol has taken from you.

You CAN feel confident about your future.

YOU can create a life you’re proud of.

 How I can help …

Getting started

The thought of treatment and recovery may feel scary or overwhelming, but I’ll make it simple. We’ll start with an initial assessment to explore what’s going on and I’ll recommend a recovery plan that best fits your needs. At the end of the appointment, we’ll talk about your next steps and if I would be the best fit for you. My goal is to help you on your healing journey, so if I’m not the right fit, I’ll do my best to give you options that would work for you. However, if I provide the level of care you need, and you want to continue working with me, then we’ll discuss a strategy to move forward.

My Approach

My approach to alcohol abuse and addiction treatment is two-fold. The first stage is recovery. We’ll create a long-term recovery plan based on your needs. Then, we’ll talk about the second stage–exploring any deeper issues connected to your alcohol abuse. Many times, problematic alcohol use stems from unhealed past experiences or unresolved internal conflicts. Once we establish a level of recovery, we’ll explore these deeper issues in order to heal, reduce the risk of relapse, and help you experience a more fulfilling future.

    … and create a personalized, comprehensive relapse prevention plan.
