I began working in the field of substance use and other related mental health disorders 8 years ago.
I specialize in populations who are struggling with depression, relationship and family conflict, addiction, anxiety and stress, trauma related disorders, grief and loss, self esteem, and life transitions. I work with adults, couples, and families to meet goals and figure out how to “do life” with the hand you’ve been dealt in the most productive way possible. Some of the evidenced based approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. These approaches paired with a solid therapeutic rapport result in clients reaching goals and seeing actual results from counseling.

Let me be on your team, help take back control of your substance use, and fully live the life you deserve.
Your relationship with alcohol is tenuous at best. You’re not sure if you want to be sober forever (because that sounds kind of scary), but something has to change. Alcohol is getting in the way of the life you have worked hard to build, and it’s only a matter of time until something bad happens. You want to understand why you drink and take back control of your life, but finding the right type of treatment has been difficult. You don't want to sit in a group of random people for hours or be shamed for drinking. There is another way. You don’t have to ‘white knuckle’ it forever.

An initial evaluation of a family's situation or an individual's issues with substances often provides clarity and direction to begin to overcome the myriad of problems associated with addiction. The road to recovery from addiction is positive, exciting and life-changing both for the individual and family members. There is no doubt that addiction can be overcome. An initial consult can often be the catalyst for profound change. That initial call may be difficult for you to make, but rest assured, we will make a plan!

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.
