I have experience with all populations including working directly with sex workers, persons with HIV/ AIDS, all persons affected by substance use, abuse, and addiction (including pregnant women and new mothers), and persons in the criminal justice system for offenses ranging from traffic citations and misdemeanors to capital and first degree felonies.
We, as human beings, are all on a path through life dealing with our own unique conflicts (be it interior or exterior) and struggles from our lives before this point. Everyday is a new chance to devote effort in ourselves with a goal to make ourselves better than the day before. We are all striving to be the absolute best version of ourselves we can be, even if your version looks different than the next person's. Even if you are unsure of your own matters of contention and unable to see the prospects of your future, I am dedicated to starting or continuing on this journey with you.

I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use/addiction, relationship or interpersonal issues, and generational or childhood trauma.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a cycle of anxiety, loops of negative thought patterns, complicated emotions and behaviors, the inability to cope with life stressors, or at times...resorting to unhealthy habits. This can lead us feeling disconnected from loved ones and even ourselves. The way we handle these challenges can determine the path our lives take. With the right tools and the right support, we CAN pave a new path forward. I believe we are all self-healers, with the power and ability within us to heal, break old patterns, learn new strategies, and increase our quality of life, so we can live the life we truly wish to live.

I have 11 years of experience in working with mental health crisis and substance use.
Counseling is about instilling hope in those who may have lost it along the way with all of the pressures that arise in life. With all of the stressors we experience, I believe everyone can benefit from counseling to help remove some of that pressure and live a life where you can thrive and enjoy every day. I take a person-centered counseling approach by addressing the needs of the individual in manageable ways they can incorporate into their lives. I also use solution-focused therapy to keep the sessions directed to what the individual wants to achieve from the counseling experience.

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.
