I am a licensed psychologist who truly enjoys helping individuals and couples who need to talk to someone about their unique life problems. I work with a wide range of issues: stress, depression, grief, anxiety, PTSD, anger management, mood swings, addiction, chronic pain, as well as the complex problems of military families. All life's problems can become the motivation toward improving who we are and how we are with others. As a therapist I can help each individual find the quiet voice of their own inner guidance.

My approach to therapy is based on developing a genuine connection with each client and a sincere curiosity about each person's unique strengths and challenges. My background spans twenty years of assisting people experiencing anxiety/depression, trauma, relationship or family issues, military, and substance abuse/dependence. I provide counseling to clients that are interested in increasing both harmony and stability in their lives. Through the supportive space of a session, clients have an opportunity to awaken to parts of themselves not previously aware of. Therapy has always resonated as a calling for me and not just a career.

There is a popular Lao Tsu quote that says, "Knowing others is wisdom, but knowing yourself is enlightenment." Without intentionally reflecting and looking inwards it becomes difficult to stay present and even keeled. Using current evidenced based practices my goal is to help you rediscover yourself and alleviate some of the barriers like (but not limited to) depression, anxiety or intrusive thoughts, substance abuse, family/marital issues and anger problems that are keeping you from truly being present, knowing yourself, and investing fully into meaningful relationships with those around you.

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.
