REGARDING COVID 19: We have to find ways to cope without lots of the things we normally rely on (going out with friends, going to the gym, 12-step meetings, religious services, etc.). Tele-therapy can really help you to cope while you’re social-distancing in your home. If you don’t have insurance, we can discuss a reasonable fee you can afford, based on a sliding scale.

I consider it a privilege when anyone shares their life challenges with me in pursuit of support and guidance.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion, most people tend to see therapy as a one-sided conversation with little opportunity for interaction and/or getting to experience each other as real people. My motto is to be authentic, genuine and realistic with my clients. I want to help you accomplish whatever solutions you are looking for. The end goal is for you to enjoy the process while you experience yourself in new ways. Seeing a therapist may bring painful emotions to the surface, but seeking therapy doesn't have to be a painful thing.

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.
