Hey there! My name is Sandi. I recognize connecting with a new counselor can be hard, at first. My biggest hope is to create a safe space, free from judgement, that allows you to let go of the weight you've been carrying. We all experience pain and discomfort with ourselves and with our relationships. It can become overwhelming and isolating when we face family trauma or conflict that leads to depression, anxiety, or grief. You are not alone in your experience and I can help.

Are you ready to "talk to someone about it"? Is your mind and body so overwhelmed by your past and present experiences that you have symptoms of depression, anxiety, or physical and emotional disturbance? Could this have been brought on by childhood, deployment, first responder trauma, loss, or other life events? These are not uncommon. Life events can induce disturbances in our mood, relationships, and in the ability to effectively cope with day to day experiences. Developing coping skills, self-understanding, and addressing root cause can be among the first steps to self-healing and improved symptoms.

I am a trauma therapist who utilizes effective trauma treatment therapies. I practice using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and now Safe and Sound Protocal . All approaches work with the mind, body, and emotions to help support the movement through trauma. Our bodies are holding containers that will hold onto trauma until there is a pathway for release. If you are finding yourself stuck without movement, traditional therapies not working, maybe this is a new path to check into. I am ready to work alongside you to help you get to where you would like to be.

I specialize in helping individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance use/addiction, life transitions, self-image issues, and generational and/or childhood trauma.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a cycle of anxiety, loops of negative thought patterns, complicated emotions and behaviors, unmanageable stress, and unhealthy ways of coping. These challenges can lead us to feel disconnected from loved ones and even ourselves. The way we handle these challenges can determine the path our lives take. The good news is there is always hope, and 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.

We too often think of treating substance use problems as a one-size-fits-all approach.
I've focused my practice on substance use issues and addictive problems in people lives. For years I worked with women in eating disorders treatment utilizing an addictions model. Later I focused on men, and substance use disorders. Problems can stem from using drugs as an unproductive coping skill to a deeper more physiologically based problem. Our first job together is to find what your specific problem looks like and then find a way forward that's suited to your needs. In addition I also offer services evaluating clients for Substance Use Disorders in Family Law and Criminal cases.

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.
