Life is about relationships: Couples, Marriage, Families, Friends, Co-Workers. However, broken promises, lost love, abandonment, endless conflict, lack of trust, addictions, loss of intimacy, anger and avoidance all create fear, pain, rejection and loneliness. You feel disconnected and are in search of acceptance, belonging, comfort and safety. Using specialized methods of counseling, we can help you avoid misunderstandings, improve communication, heal past hurts, understand one another better and strengthen the relationships that make life important.

I believe therapy is a place of non-judgment that allows you to express your thoughts, emotions, and the secrets we only tell ourselves. I believe that each person is an individual and their world is unique. I approach therapy with my clients by helping to explore the world as they see it and act as a guide to help them become more self-empowered. My goal with every client is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Life’s journey is influenced by your experiences. Some experiences are difficult and leave you feeling unbalanced and disconnected. Injuries sustained from relationships and events can create feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness and rejection. Seeking help is the first step toward finding your sense of balance and connection. Every individual has the ability within themselves to achieve the balance that they need for their lives. It is my goal as a counselor to assist you with the navigation of this journey.

I believe therapy provides us with the opportunity to introspect through a lens of curiosity and acceptance, as opposed to shame or judgment. Together, let’s embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. Learn to be proud of proud of who you are, not who you think you should be. Kick off your shoes, get comfortable, and find your voice!

People seek therapy for a number of different reasons, it can be a difficult and vulnerable process to talk with a stranger about what is or what has happened to you. It's my hope to create an enviroment to explore the causes and reasons for your current symptoms or issues. It's my hope to address the underlying causes of the symptoms and explore other ways to change by trying new strategies and techniques. It's my belief people can use therapy to create long term changes in their lives.

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.
