You need an ally. Someone that is invested in your life and wants to be a partner that can support you along your journey. As a therapist, I strive to be that ally. I believe that it is my job to meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward where you would like to be. Empowerment is imperative to my therapeutic approach, as I believe it serves as a foundation to processing complex topics such as emotional regulation, cognitive distortions, or relationship conflicts.

Every single person has something with which they struggle. Whether its anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship concerns, or just feelings of being stuck or wanting more. Most of us need a place where we feel safe and secure enough to be able to delve into these parts of ourselves that we find unpalatable, frustrating or downright scary. I am an addiction and psychiatric therapist with a history of working with substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, anxiety/depression and a variety of other "wellness issues."

Finding the right practitioner; when it comes to your emotional, mental, and spiritual health needs; can be challenging because you may not know what you should be considering during this search. Select a professional who is not only compassionate and passionate about their work and the people they serve, but also someone who knows the element of strength and perseverance personally. Stress can have a huge impact on the way we function in the various domains of our lives and this can sometimes send us down the rabbit hole of doubt. In order to truly accept yourself you must discover the elements of your becoming.

As someone diagnosed with autism as an adult, and an addict in recovery, I love working with clients who face challenges in those areas of life. Being an autistic adult in a society that is built for neurotypical individuals can be challenging. I work with clients to implement skills and create space for their needs. When working with addicts, I understand the vicious cycle of trying to get control of substance use and the process of relapse. Together we can work to overcome these challenges. Coming to therapy isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of growth and courage. Together we can create a meaningful life for you.

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.
