My practice provides non-medical aspects of assessment and treatment of substance abuse at all stages of recovery--from intervention to post-inpatient treatment and continuing care.  A major area of speciality is working with family members of the chemically dependent.  I have been involved in program development of inpatient treatment programs and have served as Family Focus Week Facilitator at a renowned Inpatient Chemical Dependency Treatment Center.  In practice in Stillwater, OK since l990, I have indepth awareness and familiarity with other services offered locally and statewide and can refer patients (or family members) to other professionals and services as needed and appropriate.  My focus in working with families has often involved aiding the couple/family in moving from arguing/fighting into pro-active problem solving and effective communication, healing old emotional wounds, re-establishing trust, and reestablishing positive regards and feeling loved.  With a comfortable, supportive, and non-judgmental atmosphere, clients can achieve the personal growth they’re striving for.
