I work with clients (individuals, couples and families) who experience relationship, self-esteem, or work related issues due to substance use such as alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs. Clients are ready to understand the underlying causes of substance use, identify triggers, coping skills and relapse prevention plans. Recovery is an ongoing process, and my role is to help others understand themselves and actualize their potential. I want clients to understanding that support is available to assist in their time of need and beyond.

Many of life's challenges lead people to seek therapy. Therapy allows clients to talk in a secure setting about their concerns, to learn better coping skills, & to find solutions to their problems. I strive to reduce stigma around treatment & assist clients in rebuilding their lives. I think it's vital to meet each client where they are at and focus on their strengths. Clients describe me as: compassionate & trustworthy. I consider myself to be an encouraging & direct person.

I have assisted many clients in gaining insight into the issues that they are struggling with and healthier options that work for them. No client is the same as the next. We are all unique and take different paths in life and deserve a space to be heard. Clients struggle to connect with emotions, processing and regulating their emotions and struggle with finding positive solutions. Sometimes in life we don't know exactly what we want or which way to turn. I give my clients the space to learn about themselves and grow. I am compassionate, attentive and work with my clients to find the positive attributes in their lives.

I am accepting new clients. Deciding to pursue therapy is a very personal decision. It is important that those I work with feel safe, guided, and able to share openly at their own pace. I promote mindfulness and self-reflection. We will work together to explore patterns and consider what changes feel necessary. Supporting you in the process of managing and understanding symptoms that make day to day life more difficult is an important step. It is my hope that with support and encouragement, the challenges become easier to tolerate and less frequent.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
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 alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
