It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. - Quote by J. Krishnamurti. Thank you for taking the time to read over my profile. I am very grateful to offer counseling for adults who are looking for a welcoming place to rest, reflect, and create a path forward that is in line with their values. I often describe my approach as relational, process-oriented counseling for the human condition. My ideal clients are those who have become tired of the self-improvement hamster wheel, and have begun to sense (perhaps through meditation, psychedelics, art) the potential freedom beyond their personal story.

You made it! You may not feel like you’re making it right now-and that’s totally okay. However, take a moment to reflect that you’ve made it to THIS moment in search for hope, understanding, growth, and relief. You’ve already made it through frustration (scrolling through hundreds of strangers faces to find a therapist), hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, trauma, and much more. I want to walk beside you through the difficult feelings you’ve been experiencing to help you create a life that you don’t just make it through, but actually ENJOY!

People often seek therapy to resolve past experiences and life complexities and the decision to enter therapy may carry feelings of ambivalence and uncertainty. I believe that therapy is most effective when persons are offered an environment that is inviting, attentive, collaborative, affirming, and safe. Subsequently, my goal is to provide a challenging, but non-judgmental and encouraging atmosphere for persons to explore concerns and difficulties as a means of achieving desired change.

Do you struggle with your relationships? Do you have trouble asking for what you want in relationships and at work? Is it difficult for you to set boundaries and feel okay about it? Are you living the life you desire? If so, you are struggling with relationship issues and possibly relationship trauma symptoms. Developmental trauma (CPTSD) can set deeply entrenched patterns of behavior and beliefs about yourself that are hard to shake. I practice using evidenced-based effective therapies, such as NARM, EMDR 2.0, Psychodrama and CBT.

Substance Use 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.
