Seven Most Common Mistakes Living With an Alcoholic, and What You Can Do About It.
Phone & Skype
At first I was pretty reluctant to tell anyone about my failing marriage and my alcoholic wife. It was an embarrassing situation for me. But having the convenience of having phone sessions from the privacy of my office made it much easier for me to reach out for help. Working with you has helped me to recognize I do have options. After hearing my wife say she would stop drinking numerous times only to start again, she finally agreed to go into treatment if she has another drink. Thanks Jeff! I’ll let you know what happens.

When Jeff worked in our agency, I got to witness qualities in him, I respect in any good therapist: Commitment to his own personal growth, fair-mindedness, even-handedness, not intimidated by bullying, and very knowledgeable about substance abuse issues. He was a great team player and a real asset to our agency.
Jeff has excellent conceptualization skills in seeing the big picture within families with multiple needs. Clients loved to work with him. His unique life experiences singularly qualify him for working with individuals and families with substance abuse issues.

After the ending of my painful divorce, I was devastated for being the one to initiate it. I felt tons of guilt. After being in counseling for 6 months with you, I have the best relationship I’ve ever had in my life. I'm respecting my own timing in the relationship, and taking steps towards significant business goals.
I’ve been to several other counselors whose suggestions were a little helpful, but what I like most during the sessions I’ve had with you is the numerous ah-ha’s I get, and how you expand them and help me integrate them into my life.

When Jeff worked with us, I noticed he has a very unique way of listening, not pushing his judgment onto others. He has an incredible ability to hear what people are saying, not react, and sum up the problem and what was needed. He's very approachable and gave great feedback to our clients.
Jeff has excellent theoretical understanding of the roles in the problem drinker / alcoholic family, as well as the disease itself. He really gets the importance of the family’s role in the recovery process.

My relationship was so important to me. When it didn’t work, you helped me to stay strong through it. But when I got back together with my boyfriend you supported my thinking through it so I could trust again.

I’ve seen significant improvement in families I've referred to Jeff. As a therapist, I've seen how effective his caring and direct approach has been with people when there is high emotional content.
He has a unique ability to support individuals and families to bridge the gap when everyone's fighting or pulled back from each other. His calm gentleness really helps clients feel heard in therapy.

With work, family, and trying to take care of myself, my life is super busy. I was hesitant about spending time to come into therapy. I just didn't have the time. However, when I come in and hear your gentle understanding voice, I slow down. You've help me sort things out in my life that I couldn't of otherwise. Giving me the strength to get my husband into treatment has changed everything. I'm less stressed and now see light at the end of the tunnel.

Karis Community provides transitional living for individuals recovering from a serious and persistent mental illness. While Jeff worked here, I noticed he has a unique ability to provide a safe space, see the very best in people, see their issue, and “walk with them” thru problems as well as help uncover empowering options.
He really gets the dynamics in families. In family meetings, he was supportive, inclusive, and direct in naming ownership with no negative impacts. His presence, compassion, and integrity are an asset.
I’d recommend him to others because he’s conscientious, attentive, and has a genuine desire to help others experience a better quality of life.
