I understand your pain. Many times I’ve experienced that negative internal monologue that spirals out of control and impairs my ability to function emotionally effectively. Needless to say, I’ve done and continue to do my share of inner work to achieve my greatest potential. I have struggled with feelings of clarity and inability to connect with myself; that’s why I understand your pain.

I have provided individual, family, and group counseling to pre-teens, teens and adults who sought help for anxiety, depression, codependency, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma, and substance use.
I work with those seeking support and compassion, while navigating difficult emotions, experiences, and the residual impact on the mind and body. I believe that acknowledgement of our humanity allows us the freedom to be who we are and who we want to be. Everyone holds the power to create their own reality. This reality is created by the barriers we choose to acquire and those we choose to repel, as the blossom of the lotus flower repels the muddy waters. My priorities as a therapist are to offer a safe space, help you reach your goals/ desires, and offer guidance to become unstuck when it feels nearly impossible.

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.
