I work with couples, families, and individuals, but my true passion is relationships. After the initial "honeymoon period", couples may start finding themselves in complicated, emotional situations. Couples often begin to have disagreements, fights, unmet needs/wants, and hurt feelings start clipping away at the connections that were solid "in the beginning". After time, these situations start creating distance between the partners until.... it's over. The lack of working on the relationship, sadly, ends it.

Human beings are born with a desire to be seen, witnessed, and engaged in determining their life path. Yet, loneliness, identity struggles, and shame alienate us from our authentic self. My passion is supporting clients as they uncover their real self, their original self before shame and trauma, and find ways that feel authentic for healing and moving forward in life. I am interested in supporting the whole person – emotional, developmental, and life-transitions.

Starting therapy is a very personal decision. Consider starting therapy when you are seeking an increased understanding of yourself and improved relationships with others. Therapy helps you sort through conflicting emotions, behaviors, and thoughts that get in your way. You will know you are benefitting from therapy when you feel more comfortable and confident in the decisions you make on a daily basis. Looking at others is a distraction. Looking inside ourselves is a journey for those who want to grow and blossom into their true selves. The work is not easy or quick, however the progress made is yours to keep forever.

We all may experience everyday challenges in personal relationships, employment, and life transitions, resulting in stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and other symptoms preventing us from living a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Part of it is that we are not aligned and instead we are stuck repeating patterns and holding to negative perceptions about ourselves and the world. I work under the premise that each individual has the capacity to heal old wounds by FINDING MEANING TO LIVED EVENTS, ADAPTING, TRANSFORMING, and FINDING BALANCE in life.

We will always start our work together with focusing on what you are experiencing right now. I can help you find peace and balance as you learn to cope and adjust to the various stresses of life. We can also begin to explore how your past experiences may be influencing you today. Often times we know that our upbringing was not maybe the "best" and as a result we can feel less than fully appreciated and un-validated. This can have longterm effects on our self-esteem and wellbeing. Therapy allows us to fully explore any repeating patterns in your life, and offer freedom from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and suffering.

While life events and transitions can be overwhelming and isolating, you never have to be alone. Through the therapeutic process, I will empathetically work with you to understand your goals and help guide you to wellness. I love working with ages spanning from late teens to older adults during life transitions. I feel as though we can all have a “harsh inner critic”; this critic is difficult to silence or challenge. Many times, we ask ourselves, “why did this happen” or “why do I feel this way”? When we ask ourselves “why”, we tend to reinforce shame. Think about it, “why” indicates there is just one answer.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
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 alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
