As a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC), I understand the disruptive nature of addictions on couples, families, and individual mental health.
I work with a wide variety of clients and mental health concerns, and especially enjoy supporting adults and couples looking to improve communication and satisfaction in their relationships. I believe that therapy can help people find new, positive ways of connecting and increasing their sense of support and resiliency. In addition to relationship work, I help people going through life transitions in all stages of life. I particularly like working with adults in middle age and beyond navigating an empty nest, balancing care for children and aging parents, or those moving into retirement and exploring their identity outside of work.

Taking consideration of your spiritual and cultural beliefs/identities, I am often honored to guide those with goals involving relationships, addiction/recovery, gender/sex, self-worth/love, honing intuition, trauma, symptoms of neurodivergence and motivation without perfectionism.
Emerson said, "Don't be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams". Currently accepting new telehealth clients for same week appointments. Contrary to the old saying, "change is hard"-change can be peaceful and efficient. When your therapist is tuned in to where you are at and you are motivated and eager to see a new life, transformation feels natural and even enjoyable. Feeling better shouldn't be a chore or scary and your therapist should be invested in the process and have their own therapeutic support to ensure ethical relationships. This is the new normal in sessions with me.

My experience includes individual therapy, intensive in-home therapy with children and families, couples work, counseling within the criminal justice system and addiction treatment.
When challenges interrupt life, making it difficult to manage, having a therapist/guide to help you regain your potential gets you where you want to be sooner with greater success. We live in a culture that often encourages us to “just tough it out”. We can begin to believe that asking for help means admitting failure, and we fall further into despair. The truth is the therapy process creates space and time for you to explore what is at the root of those challenges. We will work together to build a genuine therapy relationship that supports your journey toward improved functioning and life satisfaction.

I have worked with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relational challenges, and co-occurring substance use concerns.
“Stuck.” This is a word that often comes up in therapy: feeling stuck with painful feelings, with past traumatic experiences, in unhealthy ways of coping, or in challenging relationship dynamics. When stuck with thoughts of the past or worries about the future, this gets in the way of living in the present. Especially as environments are often invalidating of emotional experiences, getting unstuck is about making room for what we've learned to avoid. Through a close and meaningful relationship, I am passionate about creating a safe environment in which we can get to the bottom of what is keeping you from the life you want to lead.

Addiction Therapists

What is the best therapy for addiction?

Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?

There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?

Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?

The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
