Substance Use Therapists in Oregon

Accepting new clients, 18+. Empowering clients to listen to their core self so you can more openly make decisions based on your priorities and goals is at the heart of the therapy work we will do together. I have often been told by clients that I have a way of addressing difficult topics or giving perspective in a way that is compassionate, strength-based, skill focused. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space that is full of encouragement, acknowledgement and welcomes feedback to inform progress potential is a commitment I remain steadfast in. I incorporate several modalities including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and ACT.

I am not accepting new clients, but therapists at my group practice are. Are you using substances and concerned about how it has impacted your health, relationships, career and life choices? Have you been self medicating for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, low self worth, guilt or shame? Is your mental health getting worse because of your substance use? Have you been sober and you want to continue to manage your mental health to continue to support recovery? Are you wondering if you can control your substance use or if you have to completely stop using? Let me support you on this journey.

When life is overwhelming asking for help is the first step. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have specialized in addiction and substance use disorders with over 25 years of experience. I enjoy helping people make positive changes in their lives, incorporating positive psychology with traditional psychodynamic, solution focused and cognitive-behavioral methods.

I am a Queer and Disabled Social Work Associate working with Adults. I am passionate about strengths-based approaches to navigating mental health and healing.

A quick note about reaching me: using email will allow me to respond more quickly. My dog Lady, an emotional support animal, occasionally sits in on our sessions. You may choose to opt out of having her in the room if you are uncomfortable with her presence. Therapy is a sacred space to express yourself fully and honestly with the assurance of receiving empathy devoid of judgment. Lady is an expert at this! Our life stories are shaped by relationships and events. Work-related stressors, grief, difficult relationships, substance use struggles, anxiety, depression…all of these take a toll on our mental well-being.

In both my work and personal life, I firmly believe in the benefits of therapy and the ability to integrate our challenges into our lives to create new and healthy dynamics. I am warm, creative, affirming, and direct as a therapist. I believe personal growth is a collaborative endeavor that requires caring, free from judgment. I work with teenagers and young adults (ages 15 - 26) challenged with co-occuring mental health and substance use disorders.

I am a person-centered counselor and I work with clients around increasing self-awareness and self-esteem through mindfulness practices. I lean heavily on wisdom that has evolved from Eastern philosophies and contemplative traditions. I also provide psychedelic experience preparation, harm reduction, and post integration work for psychedelic curious adults. I work closely with clients to create a safe environment for exploration and the facilitation of personal growth towards desired areas of change. I have a focus on depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and coping with societal or existential stressors.

Intended for those in active recovery, seeking continued care. Ideal for post-treatment as a step-down service. Our goal is to empower individuals to live a more conscious/balanced lifestyle by ensuring that clients have the tools to incorporate a holistic approach to wellness and sobriety.

I enjoy working collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults around any issues they feel called to work on.

Some modalities I utilize regularly include: CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, strengths based therapy and integrating techniques from art and music therapy.

Your health deserves the highest quality care, and when we work together, you’ll get that - uncompromised integrity of personal, individualized therapy with the skills of a licensed, published substance use and behavioral health expert. I draw on direct practice experience in diverse settings with children, families and adults to offer individualized support for personal change.

Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, obsessive thoughts/behaviors…you may feel that something isn't working or doesn’t fit, or perhaps you are missing something you want (better communication, feeling heard, understanding). Perhaps you haven't found a solution to manage things quite the way you want. My goal is to help increase awareness and insight, working with you to understand what is going on now, its impact, and support efforts toward your goal to improve relationships, develop skills, resolve conflicts, increase self-esteem, heal, and grow. Therapy can offer wonderful opportunities to move toward the change you seek.

I believe that every client has the potential for health and wellness regardless their situation. I have dealt with many issues including, mood, thoughts, anxiety, attention, eating, gender, sexuality, spirituality, substance use, and compulsive behaviors. I want to meet you where you are. While they may not be ready to make immediate changes, planting the seeds of health and wellness are my ultimate goals. I work with adults and youth at least 11 years old.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my journey as a therapist has been defined by a deep commitment to empowering individuals on their path to healing and self-discovery. With a foundation rooted in compassionate care and evidence-based practice, I have dedicated myself to creating a safe space where clients can explore their emotions, confront challenges, and embrace personal growth. My approach is holistic, recognizing that each individual carries a unique story shaped by their experiences, relationships, and aspirations. I believe in the power of human connection and strive to build authentic therapeutic relationships.

If you've found yourself here, you are looking for change. My therapy approach will help you build new behaviors that align with the person you want to be and get control of behaviors that no longer fit your life. Because the path towards recovery and growth is difficult, I try to make the journey as enjoyable as possible. While providing empirically supported treatments, I mix in irreverence, bad puns, and a youthful energy.

I see therapy as a place for people to be deeply understood and gently challenged to take action on what they value most. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach to support what is already working for you, including your innate resilience and knowledge, while also targeting areas of struggle. I earned my doctoral degree from the University of Maryland and completed residency and fellowship at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, where I received specialized training in the treatment of trauma, grief, identity related stress, depression, anxiety, and substance use.

I specialize in providing emotion focused therapy for couples who are interested in working on issues related to communication, trust, infidelity, connection, and intimacy.

I welcome folx of all types, including LGBTQI and poly/ENM identifying individuals and couples. People who work with me enjoy integrating mindfulness and humor into the therapeutic tableau.
