Alcohol, drugs, anger and criminal behavior are often interconnected. As a retired detective, I worked with people whose use of alcohol, drugs, and being unable to control their anger often resulted in their involvement with the criminal justice system. And, they were the lucky ones because I personally placed the dead bodies of many young people in body bags due to their abuse of alcohol and drugs or being unable to control their anger. I use a very different approach to working with clients. I don't consider myself a therapist but rather a coach. The modality I use in working with clients is solution focused which simply means we focus on today without dwelling on the past. After all, if we keep going back to the negative times, we just continue to be depressed and blame others. Your drinking, drugging, anger and criminal behavior was your choice. Many people, including myself have had negative situations in our lives but faced them straight-on without self-medicating with alcohol or drugs; we learned to control our anger and avoided getting involved in criminal behavior. I can help you get through these tough times. Together we will work on moving your life forward to the point that you will stop drinking, drugging, and be able to control your anger and avoid jail. Working together, you will achieve being the person you should be; you will learn to let go of the person inside you who has been hiding behind a bottle, a syringe or pill, a mask of anger or a jail cell.
