I strive to make the therapeutic environment as comfortable as possible and build a positive therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to discuss what you are struggling with. I encourage you to take those next steps to work on yourself and grow. My passion is helping those who struggle with addiction, substance use, low self-esteem, codependency, and ADHD.

As someone diagnosed with autism as an adult, and an addict in recovery, I love working with clients who face challenges in those areas of life. Being an autistic adult in a society that is built for neurotypical individuals can be challenging. I work with clients to implement skills and create space for their needs. When working with addicts, I understand the vicious cycle of trying to get control of substance use and the process of relapse. Together we can work to overcome these challenges. Coming to therapy isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of growth and courage. Together we can create a meaningful life for you.

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.
