Life can be difficult to navigate at times, but I believe we all possess inner strength and resiliency to address and learn coping skills to make life easier to handle. I meet people where they are and assist alongside them to where they want to be. Therapy can be challenging, but I provide a relaxed atmosphere where we work to assist in guiding you to identify your strengths and where you can freely express your emotions. My goal is to provide the best modalities to address areas of concern and be empathetic, understanding, and demonstrate unconditional positive regard where you feel safe, listened, while assuring your self-worth.

I believe an effective Counselor is one who supports individuals on their journey towards healing, and serves as a co-pilot guiding them through the challenges of process to a healthier, more fulfilling life. As a compassionate and empathetic individual, I have always been drawn to helping others overcome their struggles and find their path to happiness. My desire to become a counselor stems from a deep-rooted belief in the power of human connection and the transformative impact it can have on people's lives. Just as a co-pilot supports the pilot in navigating through rough weather, I aspire to be a trusted, unwavering guide.

Life can be hard. Whether it is transitioning from one phase of life to another or financial and work stressors there is always something that we have to learn to cope with and it can be very easy to start feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I believe every experience in life has a purpose. Nothing happens by chance. Failure, conflict or ending a relationship isn't meant to break us but to provide valuable lessons for us to learn, grow, gain insight, become stronger and live happier. I can support and guide you in your search for inner strength needed to regain your sense of control, purpose and joy.

All emotions (and pain) are valid. All thoughts are valid. There are reasons behind them. Let's explore them together to help you meet your goals and find a helpful perspective. I believe that everyone can improve themselves, find healing, and live a more fulfilling life with the right tools, honesty and openness, the willingness to change, and a non-judgmental, compassionate environment. I work hard to create this. I have Master's degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies; I can incorporate spiritual guidance into sessions if you would like. However, I have formed wonderful relationships with clients who are spiritual and non.

Drug Abuse 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.
