I believe that what clients want is to be heard, and understood. I interact well with clients, and easily engage them in trusting therapeutic relationships. There is a desire in all of us to express ourselves creatively, and to reach our full potential. I try to see the world as the client sees it. Therapy is a collaborative effort, and I work with my clients to help them to overcome obstacles such as anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, and other issues, that will prevent them from reaching their full potential in life. Helping others to find their sense of purpose in life, is what I love about being a therapist.

My style is very warm & caring with a strong detail for eliciting emotional honesty. Appropriate humor with an inquisitive dialogue bring deep & real issues to light. My primary goal is to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I strive to understand your 'reality' while also exploring some of the biased/outdated beliefs that we all hold, which construct our current 'reality'. If you are looking to have a meaningful, honest & open relationship with your therapist then we would be a good fit. Gratefully, I've witnessed amazing transformations with hard working individuals, couples & families.

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.
