I am a welcoming a space to explore symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance use and feelings of uncertainty or sense of direction. Understanding the core of our suffering and inviting the process of healing with compassion is essential. Symptoms may manifest in waves debilitating and interfering with our daily life preventing us from feeling peace and tranquility. Life can be challenging by making sense of what we are experiencing and I would like to support you in every step. Making sense of our experience may require us to sit with discomfort. I use a mindfulness-based, trauma-informed approach to therapy.

We have experience including, but not limited to the following: PTSD, life transitions, faith transitions, KAP, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, substance use disorders, autism, attachment/relationship issues, couples therapy, family therapy, body image and eating difficulties, LGBTQIA difficulties.
Although I have a wait list for new clients, I have some great clinicians that I am providing clinical supervision to at Mountain Valley Counseling that are accepting new clients. Contact me and I can tell you about our staff and help get you scheduled with one of my supervisees. At MVC, we are person-centered in our approach, and fundamentally believe in more depth psychology methods. We want to help people beyond basic symptom reduction, which research shows, provides more lasting and sustainable change. Oftentimes the issue someone presents to therapy with is a symptom of deeper difficulties or traumas.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are -Carl Yung. Becoming the version of ourselves that is truly free, a version that is unconditionally self-accepting and self-loving, is what I see as the purpose of therapy. Through my own personal healing journey I've realized that the pain that we carry around is our responsibility and we alone hold the keys to free ourselves from our self-imposed prisons. It can be a terrifying process to face the aspects of ourselves that we've avoided but there is nothing more rewarding or worthwhile. I will meet you where you're at to help you free yourself and become who you truly are.

Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.

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.
