Ambivalence, uncertainty, hesitation, and frustration are natural and normal experiences as we contemplate and/or pursue change. As a result, many of us will experience discouraging thoughts and feelings and perhaps underestimate our ability to pursue meaningful change. The fortunate reality is that we're not alone...that those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can and do change as we keep at it, skillfully negotiating the inevitable setbacks and celebrating the transformational moments of progress along the way. I look forward to being by your side to identify, plot, and navigate your unique journey.

Sometimes we may find it difficult to live our best lives, for a variety of reasons. Therapy can help turn whatever you are struggling with into an opportunity for positive change. I strive to utilize cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic techniques to empower others to make those positive changes. That may mean overcoming depression and anxiety, resolving relationship issues, or coping with stressful situations. We can all use someone to talk to from time to time, and I can help.

Navigating through tumultuous and stressful times and/or coping with a painful history in our lives is, and can be, life altering. Mental health issues, including addiction issues can be a crippling experience and therapy can assist in managing and reducing the effects on our psyche and body. The symptoms that accompany our distressful feelings and thoughts interfere in how we perceive ourselves and our environment. Learning how to focus our mind on the present, addressing one task at a time and finding ways of coping in a healthy manner are essential to moving forward safely.

I aim to create an environment where people I work with feel heard, nurtured, and confident so they can share openly without fear of judgment. The majority of the clients I work with are aiming to gain insight into their own behaviors and feelings while concurrently healing emotional wounds and traumas. From our families of origin through to our present day situations, we have collected unhelpful thought patterns that can impact our emotional state - our work in therapy is to exonerate ourselves from some of the burdens of our programming and learn to embrace who we really are.

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.
