People come to see me when they feel stuck: having a hard time with using substances, managing life stress, finding direction or hemmed in by the past. They don’t know what to do or where to turn. The solutions don’t work anymore or have turned into problems of their own. One problem may have stopped only for several others to emerge. Trying feels difficult. Life is hard.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Currently accepting virtual or in person clients for my Mendon location in September! Are you feeling like you are struggling to be the best version of yourself? Feeling stuck or hopeless, having family stress, life transition stress? I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling- even the most capable and healthy people can go through low or dark times which might require a little extra support. For those with more serious mental illnesses, these times can exacerbate existing struggles, making everything feel harder.

You’ve realized you’re drinking or getting high more than you planned to and more than you want to but don’t know how to stop. The shame is dragging you down and you’re too embarrassed to admit you have a "problem." People in your life are concerned and want to offer help but what they’re offering just isn’t what you think you need. You might be numbing how you feel about letting things get to this point and not being able to change. Maybe someone else thinks your behavior is a problem and as much as you’d rather just get them off your back, there’s a part of you that’s starting to agree and wondering what you can do about it.

Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life? Are you feeling stuck in a relationship, job or an old pattern of behavior? Do you find yourself swept up in emotions such as anger, disappointment or anxiety? Many people come to me when they feel at a loss and have a desire to numb, withdraw or act out. Seeking support is the first step toward feeling better. I enjoy working with individuals who find it difficult managing their anxiety and stress leading to feelings of anger and isolation, or having trouble in relationships due to an inability to communicate their internal experience.

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.
