Substance Use Therapists in Centennial, CO
I primarily work with clients struggling with Depression, Anxiety, and Substance Use.
I do virtual therapy with clients here in Colorado. Most of my clients are seeking assistance in mitigating the stressors in their lives. Family relationships; grief/loss; difficulties with parenting or accepting parenting; substance use; crises of faith...all these issues are present in my practice. Most are looking for direction; someone to help sort through the problem and achieve an adaptive resolution. They are distressed that they are at odds with family; concerned over the loss of control with substances; and some are wondering about their purpose in the world.

Is your teen or pre-teen struggling? These years can be challenging and scary to navigate. You love your child and are afraid for his or her well being and choices. Your child may be struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or experimenting with alcohol or drugs. Their grades may be dropping and you may be experiencing extra conflict at home. You are tired and know things need to change, but aren't sure how to help your child get through this time of life successfully. If this sounds like you, then I am so glad you are here.

Waitlist for new clients
My specialties include: Substance use, Addictions, Trauma, Grief, Anxiety/Depression, Life Transitions, Existentialism, and Spirituality.
Our individual experiences shape us - they inform our behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes about ourselves and the world around us. In particular our experiences of grief, loss, and trauma have a significant impact on who we are as adults. My work in addictions has shown me the implications that unresolved childhood trauma and grief has on a person, and how it shows up in adulthood. Unprocessed emotions are stored in the crevices of our mind, waiting for the opportunity to be expressed. My goal is to help you process stuck emotions, grief and trauma in a way that works for you, and at your own pace.

As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a supportive and understanding environment for my clients to share their emotions and experiences. It is important to me that my clients feel understood and heard in the therapy room; I value collaboration and developing a strong therapeutic relationship. I work to support, empower, and gently challenge my clients in order to help meet their goals and create a life of meaning. I believe that therapy should be personal and individualized, and operate from a cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment therapy and EMDR framework.

A strong therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing and growth. My passion lies in creating a safe, positive space where adolescents can openly share their thoughts and feelings, learn to navigate life's challenges, and develop resilience. I understand that the current climate, with its social distancing and remote learning, has taken a toll on many young people, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and even substance use. These struggles often ripple through the entire family, creating stress and disconnection. That's why I offer both individual therapy for adolescents and coaching sessions for parents.

I have training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR to address post-traumatic stress, relational wounds, anger issues, and substance use.
My ideal clients are people who are interested in working on themselves and value personal growth; who share a passion for removing the blocks to intimate connections with themselves and others. I like working with people who have a hard time yielding into connection—who are often excellent givers but have a more difficult time receiving. I enjoy working with individuals who are successful, powerful, or workaholics who struggle with intimacy and connection and who have found external solutions such as achievement, sex, alcohol, exercise, etc. to be lacking in providing a sense of ease, meaning and comfort to their lives.

Substance Use Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
