Embrace your lived experiences is definitely my motto! I am also a strong advocate that there is enormous strength that emerges from having empowering relationships in your life. We can work to analyze, navigate, and find these relationships. This will allow you to live a life with increased connection and vibrance. I approach sessions from holistic, psychodynamic, and harm-reduction perspectives. I aim to be anti-racist, feminist, trans-accepting, sober questioning, and understanding of those who are voice hearers. In sum, all are welcome here!

I use a holistic approach to therapy. I primarily utilize a method called Internal Family Systems therapy to help each client gain access to understanding how they have come to take on certain beliefs and behaviors in their lifetime that have led to unhappiness, dissatisfaction and emotional burden. I believe that by assisting clients to connect with themselves and release these burdens, they can then be empowered to live a life that is authentically led with confidence, clarity, creativity, courage, compassion, curiosity and calm.

I believe that therapy is less like an onion and more like a garlic clove. Instead of trying to peel back the layers, we learn to understand, integrate, and balance all of the pieces that make us who we are. Whatever path life has taken you down, I'm here to listen and reassure you that you are not alone. Healing looks different for everyone. Through my background in mental health nursing, I approach counseling by integrating professional experience with a deep understanding of mental health utilizing a variety of theoretical lenses and interventions to individuals, couples, parents, and families.

Drug Abuse 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.
